Things are tough all over for car show's ... at least to what ive noticed. Im not just talking about car audio events - but show & shine events as well.
Out of the 10 or so actual show and shine events I attended this year, only one of them actually gave out REAL trophies - not those TOP 50 plaques that you get now. It seems the shows just cant afford to do events nice anymore. And with the ever increasing price of gas, that just gives car show participants even less of a reason to even go to shows at all. I know now, when im notified of a local or regional car show - the first thing I ask about is Top 100 or Top 50. I wont attend those anymore.
