I think that's a much better overall system than the categories....Now everyone can park with their buds instead of having to park in some far off corner.... BUT, this will detract the trophy hunters...They will no longer show up knowing there are only 5 or 6 cars in their class.... In past years the strongest representation was in two classes. Last year there was a winner and runner up I think in each class, so out of the 40ish cars there was 4 winners. Now there will be multiple winners (likely 6 to 10) in the rods to 49 class and the 50 to 69 street machine class....
This "top 50" is not advantageous to guys who have kept their mid 70s or mid 80s car in original condition as these cars do not stand out in a crowd.
Anyway, it will be a much more enjoyable day for most....Bummer for me as my class is usually up on the hill in the shade close to everything....Now I will have to get there early to commend-ere a good spot!

Sounds good, always nice location. Maybe this year I will actually attend? If your Hunting for Trophies, you can always go to the Richmond Show, I think we all have Won their multiple times... even in different classes...LOL ...God Love them for putting a nice little show on for us every year and good food for cheap.

Funny, I was thinking after I posted.....Where WOULD I want to park at the Aylmer show given the choice.......By the water is nice, but no shade......up on the hill in our normal spot, kinda away from everything.....By the beer gardens was awesome shade and close to everything, but a million bicycles going around the cars......the north end is very shaded, lots of room, but pack a lunch to go to the bathroom........My God!!!! TOo much pressure.....Pleaaaasze can they just go back to parking us in classes so we don't have to make these difficult choices

The time I was there, I was parked over by the Trees not too far from the beach, far left side of the park itself..it was a nice spot. It was close to the main path for people coming in the back way of the park. Still Ok got to see lots of people roaming by...There was Me and a whole bunch of 50's style Chevies, Mild custom class my butt...LOL
