I'm not a fan of the changes.
The atmosphere under the street lights late in the evening as things cooled off was what made that show so cool IMHO... On the bright side, I guess the car won't get covered in bugs on the way home anymore.

Yep, and '95 and older will bring in a LOT more Mustangs and Camaros. Wonder where they will park all the new-comers ?

I saw that announcement too & the same thing came to mind as well. The space accommodations were already tight. Especially after loosing the lot near the tracks. The one thing I see with moving it to 95 is it will attract more square body & GMT400 body style trucks & there are some sharp look 70's era Ford pickups running around these days too. Plus the entire generation of G bodies can now participate.

I guess we need to give it a chance but I agree that the changes are questionable. The biggest issue is still going to be parking.

Ice cream is always better on a Sunday afternoon! I think that's in a song somewhere.
The Hastings show is now on SUNDAY's once a month, and expanded the newest year to 1995. First show is Sunday, May 16th.
I can only find this on Facebook, so here's the details copied and pasted (I also shared it to the club's FB page):
