No this isnt a car show for cars like that... Only older cars are allowed in.
By the way it was awesome, even though it was hot and bees were horrible. A lot of chevies and hot rods. I sat near a candy brandywine (really cool color) truck and an original 32 ford.
The flamethrower contest was later on but they were shooting them off already so I didnt miss much (just so you know a flamethrower on a car is where they inject into the end of the pipe a combustible fluid (ussually gas but if they are serious propane or more flamable materials. then while it is being released a spark plug in the exhaust ignites sending flames out the pipes. normal flames are about 3 feet long but i have seen the propane ones (ussually have pipes that come out 2 ft and are about a ft around. shoot flames about 16 ft)

It was you should go and look at a big one. They ussually have some very cool events if they are larger (burnout competitions, gauging who has the loudest exhaust, and flamethrower contests on top of the normal judging).
I would suggest though if you want to see the cool events go to a larger OLD car show, some of the stuff at import and newer car shows is not very appropriate. But if you just want to see the cool older cars go to any size of one.

OLD CARS ARE THE PWNAGE!!!!!! sorry couldn't contain myself. That sounds like fun, I think they do stuff like that around here too but probably not as cool as yours sounds.

Indeed a good car show is one of life's simple pleasures. There's nothing better than kickin' back and taking in the beauty of your favorite rides for hours on end, talking to guys you've never met about the things you love. This year I was lucky enough to be able to go to 4 shows. I was in a state of euphoria, for the simple fact that for the other 361 days of the year I'm surrounded by Suv's & 4-doors.
