You will definitely see me there, that is one of the highlights of the entire year for me. I'll keep an eye out for your car. The MFBA had a very good showing at last years World of Wheels show.

I might head out there and check it out.

I showed my car along with the others in the MFBA display last year and we all won individually and also won best club display and a thousand dollars in cash money

We had a great time but just to let you know it's a very long event.

Good luck and maybe i'll see you there.

Tony

I'd stay away from this show. We had 9 cars that were going to show from the MFBA and our display did not get approved. (Real nice since we took 1st place in the club competition last year)

That ticks me off, the MFBA cars were the highlight of the show for me last year. Are any MFBA cars going to be there then?

I'm very disappointed with how this show is being run this year.

MFBA won the club competition last year, but we get denied entry this year?
What's up with that??
Seems like they're denying newer cars.
But our display would've had 2 cars in it over 20 years old.

Several others have been denied entry, and they cut the club competition down to 3 clubs of 5 cars each, so it's pretty much pointless.

The ISCA is not pleased with the organizers' actions.
I will be contacting the ISCA as well.

I would be interested to hear what other clubs got denied entry.
I wonder if the Viper club was going to show this year, and if so did they get denied too?

Hey Tim,

Sorry to hear you guys got denied. That really sucks and I hope you get to the bottom of this.

We took first place last year as a club and I can't believe we're now denied. That's total bull****.

Take care.

Tony

That news is a complete disappointment. It seems each year they have been putting in less cars and alot more vendors selling crap. If that is the way it is going to be, then I won't be going this year. I'll just save my money, time, and energy for the Chicago Auto Show that is around the corner.
