Terry, so that's why I didn't see your car at the Expo Center last night??
(For you non-locals, the Autorama begins in our neck of the woods today.)
I also don't like the idea of paying $50 to join the ISCA for the privilege of showing my car in the Autorama. Especially when they charge a $14 general admission fee to the public.
However, my car is in the Autorama. When I called the organizer I balked at the $50 fee and told them that I wasn't interested in joining the ISCA or being judged and winning a trophy. They - she actually - was very helpful and told me that I could pay a $15 entry fee and be classified as "non-competition", meaning that I can't win a trophy. Big deal...
So for a $15 entry fee I received two exhibitor 3-day passes valued at $20 each. So in my way of thinking I came out $25 ahead.
