I was there today with my son. Definitely not what it used to be but still worth going to every season. My Dad took me when I was a kid and I take my kids now. Charlie didn't notice at all that it was smaller than before. He was getting his mind blown at every turn seeing the next cool car, then the next ...

And maybe one day he'll look back at that time at Motorama when he got to meet a Canadian racer that ran in the Daytona 500!

Is this show always held in March? Perhaps if held in warmer weather more cars and more people would come out.

Ever since back in the "Performance World" days it has been this time of year. I used to help a club build their display every year and it was always an issue getting cars in depending on the weather. One year I detailed 8 cars since they were coming in during a snowfall. I think most in the hobby see it as the beginning of the season kicking off. When this show rolls around you know that the car season is just around the corner. Having it later in the year would ruin that part of it for a lot of people.

I opened trailered my car from St.Thomas for the show. Thankfully it didn't snow! I only had to dust it off.
