yeah it's supposed to be a really big car show. Everyone tells me it's huge. I have never been to a car show before so i figured this one would be a good one to go check out.

I tried going one year and admission was $40 per person. Lots of cars with 20+ inch wheels. Not my cup of tea , so I didn't go in. Maybe I missed out but I'm spoiled from living close to the Carlislie Car Show Fairgrounds for ten years. I've always wanted to go to the Rat Rod car show.

I think that is the car show my wife's friend goes to. He does car audio... He goes every year to try to beat his record or something.. Sounds like a cool show but probably not worth 40 bucks

if it's a low rider show i will turn around and roal coal outta there, but a guy on another forum from Truck Toyz Performance takes some trucks down every year(lifted on huge tires, but doesn't off road kinda deal). he said he usually sets up by the monster trucks so perhaps it has all kinds of different stuff. like i said, i have never been so i don't know for sure. I would like to go to a muscle car show. I really love old muscle cars(camaros, GTOs, mustangs, chargers, etc.).

on edit: just looked at the website. you can get in for $25(for one day) via the website. might be worth going... who knows.

I think it's got a mix of everything but the show is mostly geared toward the younger crowd that are more into show than go. If I could get in for $10-20 than I would go because it's so close to me and it's only one of two big car shows in the Austin area.

You know what would be bad AZZ is to start an ALL TEXAS FORD TRUCK NATIONAL, maybe hold it around Dallas/Austin or even Houston. I wonder if they even have something like that now?

$25 sounds a little more reasonable. There's also a swap meet in Gidding's aug 27-29. They've been promoting it like crazy for the last month around here and on craigslist.
