I've been going to this car show for quite sometime now as its basically in my back yard and so has my car club. We pretty much were birthed as a club here and have enjoyed showcasing our cars. It gets a star for accessibility when that's possible and another for the Target, YCs and Yogurtology close by. It would have more stars though if the owners, Salt River Project Police Department and management company stopped punishing clubs that have nothing to do with the poor choices of individuals (those who choose to do burn outs, make traffic problems and ruin it for first time attendees). I've been asked to leave early twice now for my car (it has an interactive sound system and is a Transformers Edition Bumblebee Camaro). Not a cheap car by any makes or means, but it's not being shown to make this show look good, but for the children who enjoy seeing one of their favorite pop culture characters up close and personal. I think what's really sad is when assumptions are made and those who go to this show and have for a while are lumped in with those who ruin it. I went to the McDonald's that hosts this show and they have no show guidelines on sight. I looked online and the hours vary from 4-8 to 4-10. On July 13 we were all asked to leave at 10 as the show was over. I was asked to turn my car down to a muted level as my sound was competing with their DJs. In the past I was allowed to showcase my system after 8pm but that's not the case anymore I guess. If I didn't comply, I would be asked to leave. Like I said I've been asked to leave once already last year for the same reason but it was before 8. If complying by their rules and guidelines after 8 is a problem then they're going to have to make the public aware of it, not make an example out of someone in an embarrassing manner. But the biggest problem I have with this show is the disappointment I have been able to witness in a young child's face because of "management." Nothing breaks my heart more than the sadness of a child. Especially when they can't get a picture taken with my car or even try to enjoy it with my family. I watched that last night. I hope I never see that again. Hearing a child say goodbye too early and because of someone else's poor decisions is not acceptable in my book. I foresee a loss in interest, revenue, attendance and maybe I'll be back. Maybe. There are other shows to go to and I'd hate to not come back because of someone else. Thank you for your time and as Optimus Prime says "Roll Out."
