If you want to cook, just park away from the action. Simple. The "party" will find you and the "uptights" won't go that far out to find you because they have a million and one other things they have to take care of. Maybe it's not that simple... I don't know the grounds.
That fairgrounds is a separate entity from the people running the event. My suggestion would be to run out to the camping area, burn up a big batch then run them back in and nobody could say squat. Just a suggestion.
Do the rules say no generators and George Foreman grills? I always liked Goodguys cause they had less "rules" to follow. They Promoted cruizing. This year at Columbus they had gates and guards at every other road. Sorta pisses you off but I just backed up and went to the road not blocked. As for NSRA we refer to them as FNSRA..Fu#* NSRA Clark
Like i said, we were about 20-25 ft away from them, so i'm sure that didn't help matters. If we were somwhere else on the grounds, i don't think there would have been any problems.. It was more of a "state" issue than a GG issue.. Rat...
When they outlaw grill and spatualas ONLY OUTLAWS till OWN grills and spatulas! Thats fucking gay. Jim, I am not razzing you here but if Goodguys really cares, shit like this would be abolished! Cant grill a burger and picnic cause some vendor got his overpriced feelings hurt? fuck em! You bring huge $$$ to the fairgrounds, the area and the region. Get Gary on the phone and talk to the "powers that be" about suckh a lame rule. Rodruns without BBQ? Wait these arent rodruns...they are "shows" WTF?
I'm under the impression that it was the fairgrounds' rule on the BBQs. Insurance purposes I suppose. You know you can't cook without beer, and beer leads to stumbling, stumbling leads to falling, falling leads to falling on the hot grill and getting badly burned. Now the injured dumbass party seeks money for stupidity and tries to sue said property owner for compensation, thus wasting a lot of money and time in legal dances. It's cheaper to say no. I'm pretty sure the tattle-tale vendor guy wasn't too happy either. Simply because if you guys were ALLOWED to cook and serve burgers, even to yourself, well the next thing you know, everyone would start cooking their own food. Monkey see monkey do, and then, sadly, six-dollar burger guy would just have a trailer full of meat and flies, and no cash. He would be forced to ponder his chosen profession working three days a month in a sweaty old camper cooking nasty food for complaining millionares and po-boys alike. Then, in a moment of quiet despair he'd kick himself for not listening to his parents and becoming the ballet dancer that is within him. And he'd cry. You want to make that guy cry? Do You? Do you even know how embarassing that would be for the car show promoters to have the food guy crying like a little weenie? They'd have to figure out a way to charge you to look at him, so they wouldn't think you got ANYTHING for free at their mega-show show. I guess that's why they make cold cuts and subs.........they fit into a "legal" cooler. Or your back pocket if you don't mind flat sandwiches, a mild poopy aroma, mushy cheese and a touch of food poisoning from spoiled May-O. Mr. Officer JimA, I feel that maybe you are a little too sensitive when it comes to the inevitable bashing of Good Guys. They do good things and they do bad things. You just can't please everybody...however, I must say that I enjoy reading your Barney Fife antics as you police the threads keeping an eye out for do-badders taking the Godd Guys names in vain. Get'em dog.
