cgascompression - Judging by all the LSRU picture threads here on the H.A.M.B., I completely agree with your statement that it was an "Awesome show". That said, I never quite understood folks fascination with knowing how many cars were at a car show ... but that's probably because I'm "a quality over quan***y" kind of guy ... the only reason I'd ever care how many cars were at the LSRU would be if I worked for the Texas Comptroller's office or for the I.R.S. ... and was auditing the show promoters (The Kontinentals) .
I am neither, I do not work for the Texas Comptroller's office or the IRS but I am always interested to hear what the car count is at shows. I also agree that quality over quan***y makes for a better show but it is the journey to and from for me.
If I have to travel a great distance for any show I want to make sure there are going to be a lot of cars there. Car count is the biggest factor in deciding to go to a show or not (for me anyways). Now I am not talking about an exact number but within 50 or a 100 is accurate enough.
