=Jeff=,
I enjoyed BG more when it was in Springfield. The ride was a decent distance, not too long but long enough, and the town pretty much was dominated by BG so it was fun that way. With it at Pheasant Run, it was too easy to just go for a couple of hours and then head home. I am certain economics were involved but was the Pheasant Run thing worn out? |

I liked it when there were vendors everywhere, and less of a concours show....

They had an event at Autobahn the last 2 years.. not enough people.. I think a road tour from Champaign would be a blast

What was real fun in Springfield was the Renaissance and Marriot Hotels getting together and having a car show and street concert/festival. he parking decks were Corvette only with guards and hoses for washing cars down when you arrived. We basically had the run of the town for the time we were there. 3 hrs from home. Just long enough for a fun ride and a stop for breakfast in Bloomington on the way down. Lots of used parts on the grounds. |
