money is a big thing, the cars are mostly always the same ol ones that are at every single show. Alot of people dont participate in a lot of shows because of the way they are judged. From my experience i think all shows should go by manufacturer rather than import or domestic. Another thing is for example honda has so many to narrow it down more to best civic etc...Free giveaways and stuff are always good, but overall thigns just arnt changing enough to keep all the interest. You can see all the cars in a show on or better on a friday or saturday night driving down pleasant hill thats why show attendances have taken a drop.
