If you were at the event, you would have seen a lot of show quality cars getting beat on, met a lot of good people and possibly had a little fun. You may have also noticed that there wasn't a static car show during the event

Strong words from a guy that didn't show up for an event that happened in his own back yard.

I registered but had surgery May 24th. Spinal pain pump implant. Nevertheless I wasn't back on my feet the day of, and was suffering spinal headaches. I would never wish them upon anyone.

So my heart was there, my body was not

I don't think they should be bashed if they choose not to participate.

There are also things like making a living and life in general that keep people away from these events. It takes a lot of planning to attend some of these larger events.

Exactly.

Then why take pot shots at the event and the cars that did attend?
