JGTC Car Show...WTF?!?

[SoCalS14]

Ok...So I had this idea when I ordered my tickets...In order to get really good parking...and to insure the safety of my ride...I would enter my car into the "car show"...

Anyone who has seen my ride would consent that its good enough for a show...More of a daily driver, but ****...new paint/kit/SR/clean wheels...why not?

Anyhow...The point of this semi-rant...

I recieve the tickets in the mail yesterday and guess what? If you are registered for the car show, you have to DROP OFF your car on Friday and LEAVE IT till Sunday...

WTF?

Can someone explain WHY this has to be the case? Anyone with show experience??

[nismofly]

i dont have show experience, but id say its so they can move the cars around and organize them the way they want before the show starts...

Im not sure why they do that but I know my boyfriend had to setup and leave his car at the IX center on Fri. for HIN that was Sat. My guess would be that they do this for judging so their not trying to fight tons of people and also so they can do any less minute preparation and setup for the show. I'm sure Jerry (nsrz32) will contribute and tell you why, he's been to a lot of shows like that Right Jerry? lol

lol...that sux man... that's what you get for parking hard.. j/k

Its a big event. It'll be retarded to bring the car Saturday morning, go back home at night and then go back again on Sunday. It takes a while to setup the cars. ALso I'm pretty sure they'll be setting up the booths on Friday.

You could have just got the club pass tickets and got vip parking.

[SoCalS14]

Yea a one man club. I like that idea.

Club SoCal

[sixxdeuce]

there isnt a nico club? I havent paid much attention but i have seen posts on other forums offering spots for the club pricing, its too late now, but im sure if you would have found out sooner you would have been able to jump on with one of them no prob.

[BomexS13]

if you want good parking...go there at 5am and park nearest to the entrance. Just sleep for a couple of hours in the car....LOL

[nsrZ32]

All big shows are like that, have to drop off in advance and set up then pick up your car afterwards. When I worked for Autometer it was the same at events across the country that I worked. Just the way it is I guess.

[FAST-DATSUN]

Most show are that way you drop on friday and load out sunday...

[SoCalS14]

Well...guess I will deal with it...thanks fellas...

[MainEvent212]

heh, take some time to clean your car up, who knows? maybe you'll win JDM mild show or w/e

maybe they'll have a new "drifter show" class

[SoCalS14]
