At some point in the show they allowed people to park anywhere they could find space because there was no more room. Too many cars showed up and they had a reduced area to put them because of the Farmers Market that took up several hundred spaces. Poor planning on their part. At least we all got a spot to park. Where you ended up was a great spot only 100' from your original spot so I don't now why anyone would have car problems moving such a short distance. I heard many were turned away because they were full. This is the same venue where we had 15 Cobras a couple years ago and were treated like royalty and got a club participation plaque so it's not a "Cobra" thing.
Sorry you felt you were treated badly but I'm glad to hear your cruise home was fun.

Seems like a logical explanation to me, especially having put on my fair share of shows over the years. Far too many people (such as the OP in this case) get their noses out of joint, they just do not realize what is happening around them and take anything and everything way too personal.
