Smithville, NJ car show take 2

[Dave Rifkin]

Can the moderators please delete the original posting for the Smithville car show? My photbucket album was re-organized and the picture links were broken; sorry.

I went to a few car shows this weekend, Smithville's show being one of them. I arrived around 10:30 and the lots were still kind of empty. They tried to wave me in with my Corvette but, since I knew I couldn't stay long I just parked and checked the cars out. It was hotter than hell and the owners were struggling to find some relief from the heat.

Here are some of the pictures that I took starting with this cool, day 2 1973 Nova SS. I have seen this car in the area since 1978-79 and it looked just the same back then......

I am pretty sure I have seen this Camaro at another show and read that it is an SS clone that has a L78 under the hood; real pretty car in butternut yellow.......

I hope you enjoyed looking at these pictures; I'll be uploading some more that I took yesterday and two other, smaller shows.

Thanks for posting the pics Dave!

What's up with the people taking up more than one space? <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif

[Dave Rifkin]

Not sure; maybe these people can't park? What I find even more annoying at some shows are the regulars who place cones in spaces trying to save them for their friends.

I took my car to the show at the Jackson Outlets for the first time and ran into that. I had to park my car way out in left field because I was a newbie and didn't know anyone? Not a very inviting atmosphere in my opinion. Do you guys experience that at the shows you attend?

[Xplantdad]

Dave...yep! There are always a few like that. The way to cure not knowing anyone is to introduce yourself around. You've got a really nice car...get to know the people. That's the best part!

And, ignore the people who don't make it fun <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

At Pavillions, they regulate it by allowing people to save spaces until 4pm...then the chairs/cones/etc have to be put away and it's first come first served.

The reason to take up more then one space is because some uncaring people open up they doors and slam ya.. Seen it many times over the years at shows. Ill take up 2 spaces thank you
