I am not a big fan of going to car shows. I much prefer cars and coffee type events....show up in the morning, hang out for an hour and then head home. In the Tampa area, DuPont held a great event for a lot of years. Unfortunately, they stopped when Covid hit, then sold their property and the event stopped. They have been getting restarted, but not on a regular monthly basis. There is another event at a local car dealership that is well attended and well behaved. As Covid restrictions started to relax around here, a local Detailing shop started a monthly meet. I went to a few, but could tell recently that the crowd started to change. It became more new mustangs, camaros, and challangers plus imports than the exotics and classics that attend the other meets. Now, towards the end of the show, spectators are lining the exit waiting for burnouts, donuts, and other foolery. This past Saturday, things seemed to get way out of hand. Looks like this is another meet that may get shut down. I work for the town that this is held in, it is a pretty small town and I can't jeopardize my career by being associated with this event. It's too bad....it could have grown into a great event, but the idiots are ruining it.
