I have attended ,and put on bike shows. The same costs are involved with putting on a bike show as a car show for the most part. And you guys are right, 99% of the folks that attend these shows have been to one before and know what to ,and what not to do. But ,I have to say , the ones that **** me off, are the folks who know better .It's not about knowing whether you should do certain things at truck shows. It's WHETHER YOU SHOULD EVER DO IT ...EVER ...ANYWHERE!!. Some folks just don't give a s##t about anyones stuff. They should have a really cool truck at the front gate,right by the ticket booth. Place spotters ,like at an auction to inform the ticket sellers that someone touched the custom truck on their way into the park. If they touch it while coming in , they get no ticket.Either that ar sit a very large Catholic nunn near the truck,with a yard stick. Have her pop these folks on the top of the head if they touch anything.I know very corny, but sometimes you wonder where people get their manners.

I wouldn't mind paying the money to enter if the judging of our entries was a little fairer. I went to a show in Seattle 2 years ago and saw many trucks and cars that were real good lookers not get anything for the hard work everyone put into restoring them, not to mension the bucks spent. Most driver entries got nothing but paid to get in. Most trailer entries got all the prize money and etc. Why can't there be two classes? Drivers and Trailed. I would pay for something like that.
