Yes this show was a bust. They sent back my application on Wednesday, saying that because of construction at Knotts they had to send back 500 applications, and they would not allow any regitrations at the gate. I got there at 5am and waited until 7am for them to turn me away. Then I watched them turn almost 200 other car's away at the gate. Then when they closed the gate at 10am they still had nearly 500 empty spots. They where not organised at all. I think that the new construction at Knotts screwed them up. They have never been like this before and I apologize to everyone that came to see some Mavericks and to bring there Mavericks but got turned away. They informed me that next years event will be preregistration only due to the mix up they had this year. This was too bad to because ESPN, My Classic Car, Road and Track, Truckin, and another TV show were all there to show the cars and show off on there TV shows. It would have been nice exposure for the Maverick. The Maverick has become the rarest Ford at this show. I hope we can change this next year and register much earlier. If anyone on the west coast would like to get another mini meet set up this summer please post it or Email me.
