It will be VERY interesting to see what happens in terms of how cars are invited/accepted/chosen to fill up X amount of square footage. Now there will all brands of vendors to accommodate, along with the $$$ they pay for space.
I'm thinking Bob will have to always oblige the Corvette people will ample space. The remaining that was ALL Chevy, will now be Chevy, Ford, Mopar and AMC.
Wondar if Steve Shaugers VINTAGE program at this show will start including ALL the brands ?????
This show should turn into the most prestigious Muscle car invitational show in America. Only time will tell............

Chuck, I must say THANKS for addressing these issues, since there will obviously be new procedures implemented in the interest of producing the absolute very best show possible.
The response has been, well...overwhelming. Vicki is going through e-mails now.
With this being a multi-make event, the entry procedure will be somewhat strict. Entries must include pictures, which can be e-mailed, before a car is accepted. The only exceptions are cars that are individually invited/recommended by the MCACN LLC members.
The goal is to produce a show that has something that other shows either don't have, or have in very limited numbers; PRIME Supercars, Muscle Cars, Collector Cars and Corvettes.
Since the amount of space is indeed limited and the doors are now open to so many more makes, (and also the vendors that cater to these makes), I am confident that with a LOT of work and travel, and the continued support of those of us who are truly devoted to what we are doing, we will indeed be able to produce a world-class event.
Steve Shauger will oversee the certification of a very limited amount of Camaros AND Chevelles for this show. We are investigating the possibility of expanding to include Corvettes for this show and additional marques for future shows. We will not offer the Vintage Certification for other makes/models until we are 100% able to handle this properly. Any recommendations in this area for other makes and models, please let Mr. Shauger know:
[email protected]. If you have a candidate for Vintage Certication, please let Steve know asap. YES...Mr. Lillard will be our first participant for Vintage Certification.
Please keep the questions and idea's coming and PLEASE sign up on the website for updates. Since I do not have access to any prior data base information, I need to build a completely new data base.
Also, anyone who can help us spread the word via other websites or in any other way, please do! I need your help to make this work! Plan on seeing my mug a lot more this season.
THANKS;
Bob Ashton
