EVERYONE I know has the same feelings on the matter. The English car guys, the Tuners, the Cobra's, the late models, you name it. We all feel the heat and ask the question, "Why?". Fact is, not everyone pays! If your well connected with the sponsors of the show and have an exceptional car the fee is often waived. As was the case for me at the last show I went to, which also gave me some insight as to what it COST to produce a first class show, it aint cheap.

Often you need to rent a hall, print/buy advertising, spend a LOT of time hustling up sponsors, HOPE the show is a success, etc. It's a 'business', and like fishing they don't call it 'catching' for a reason...
