Or are less people building cars to that level and more cars you can beat on. Less show and more go.
When they let a truck and 2 tri-5s compete for an award that they would not let a Tri-5 complete for last year. The X-Box 55 was told it was not a street machine last year. And this year they have 2 tri-5s in the top 10 or twelve.
Just a thought a discussion I heard from friends who attended.

The politics get old and there was just as much controversy last year on the street rod side as well with Ida. My question was more towards the lack of interest shown on this forum about it. Used to people was dying for pics, whose going, whose not going. I didn't see any chatter except for vendors about it.
I still consider the show a bucket list show for anyone that has never been. 6-7k cars can be sensory overload to some people.Even though I am there 3 days, I have been enough I can look at everything in 1 day. See a couple hundred of the right cars, see friends I see twice a year, which is just as important, and have a great time. (Except the year the asphalt was melting it was so damn hot)
