It's about the experience, the people and the cruising, much more than which car you are driving

When it becomes a sea of late models - it will cease to exist. The name is HOT ROD power tour - not 2002 and newer tour...
It's like Hot August Nights... which has turned into nothing more than a "local show" of the same crap you can see any Saturday at the burger stand... Instead of the best or latest builds... People stop going when the stuff stops peaking your interest.
The draw for Columbus GoodGuys show is that if you want to see the top of the top that's where you go - and you're willing to put up with hot and humid and spend money on flights and hotels etc... if it turned into 1999 "custom" Corvettes and '83 Monte Carlos... would you go?
IMHO the more people that think it's just an "event" and you can drive your new car... the quicker it will become a non-event.
