I think it is so funny how you always zero in on the cost. I wonder why these type of shows always cost so much to bring your car and hang out. Guess they wanna keep the riff raff out.

I have a $10.00 entry max. Except for the Classic....I'll go a little more. Now if it's $25.00 and you get a free lunch and T-shirt then I'm good with that, but $25.00 just to park my car?.......no thanks!

I agree that is a lot just to park your car and hang out.

The money pays for the cones they have to buy the prizes they give away the cost to rent the place to have the show the insurance they have to buy the security officers they hire the people they have to pay to help out and clean up and on and on.

These guys that have 1 to 2 shows a year have to charge that just to make it. Nifty fifty only charges 5 because it's every week but they are struggling to because people did not want to give the 5 that is why it's all secure now and you pay when u come in

I think $5 bucks at Nifty-50's is a deal, lots of cars and I see alot of people I know there. If I go five times...once a month, that's only $25 bucks.
