Default Strictly Corvette Show in AC - SUCKED!

IMO - They should refund the $20 admission fee for anyone like myself & wife who attended!!
Very, very poor...... When Kerbeck ran the outdoor show it was 100% better..... and you didn't have to pay $12 to park your car...

They advertised "200 Vendors" .... maybe there was 60

This is from their WEB site:

Come join us at the New Atlantic City Convention Center April 24-25 for "The 2010 Strictly Corvette Show"!! We are proud to introduce "The Second Annual Strictly Corvette Show"; a strictly Corvette, and we mean "ONLY" Corvette show! With 300 booths of vendors and hundreds of newer, classic and one of a kind Vettes we feel this will be another "Really Great Show!"

Maybe I was at the wrong show??? 300 booths of vendors and hundreds of cars --- NOT!!!

There was a discount code for $5 off but then you pay a $1 fee for doing this but at least it was less than $20. We left the building to eat across the street must have stayed 2min past the $12 parking limit and paid $14!! Have to agree not many vendors and they apparently are not used to ladies buying parts I stood at the nakidparts spot to buy a part and they weren't busy but it took a long while before someone asked to help me--I went home and placed an order with another forum vendor. Hope the weather clears for the cars that did attend the show when they leave the building. This was the second year I attended and didn't feel it was much better than the first year.

I thought last year's show was bad. Glad I didn't get burned two years in a row.

Wow...sorry to hear this. If it's free, or almost free, and it sucks...oh well. When its $40 a couple to get in, and it sucks, then I'm pissed

I guess it was good that I had other things to do then and didn't waste my time.

Ya I went last year too and it seemed like nothing changed. Extremly over priced event for what it had to offer. At least I got to hit up Sonic on the way home in Waretown

Thought about attending this year. Glad that I didn't waste 10 hours driving roundtrip and all the associated costs.

Wow, that sucks. Hate to see a Corvette show that doesn't live up to the expectations.

I drove three hours from Scranton, PA. yesterday, and the show in my opinion was not the total disaster that I am reading about here. There were not 300 vendors at all, but I did get two great deals from RPI and Nakid Parts, along with getting to see a few other vendors. I think that having it the same weekend as Spring Carlisle did not help. I did not go to the show just for the vendors, and yes there were more C5's and C6's there than other Vettes. I went primarily to look at cars, and not to see vendors. I was happy with the number of cars there, it took me about three hours to walk through all the display vehicles and take some time to speak with people. No, this was not Carlise, but for a Corvette show in April in the Northeast, it was worth it for me. I would go again next year.
