smaller turnout but less traffic and less cops = more racing.

Fall is 10 times better. Less tourist so it makes it feel like there are ALOT more cars. As far as less cops go I don't know. If there are any cops its alot to me lol since I see a cop car once or twice a week in frederick lol but id like to hope ill be going to that one but things haven't worked out right for the las two fall cruises for me

The fall is a lot better the traffic is nowhere near as bad. You can actually get some decent racing in. Hopefully I will get my rear fixed and be back in the fall.

I personally won't be racing and I have a slow car anyway. I was more curious about "cool" car turnout. I expected less traffic since nobody goes to the beach in October.

Fall show is awesome, not as much people on the sidewalks watching and encouraging people for burnouts. I heard the cops stepped it up a bit last year. Plan to book my room early so that it's not sold out before I get to book like in years past.

The cop turnout last year had a LOT to do with that supra smacking the side of that building the week before.

And plenty of nice cars do show up, but the Fall show is open to all years performance, and hot rods.

I was at the Fall cruise two years ago and stayed at Castaways. Lots of fun. The bay water was actually still warm, too. But, the beach in OCMD was full of people fishing.

About the same volume of cops and less traffic/minivans.

This years Spring kinda seemed like a smaller turnout but there was a lot of "fluff" regular cars. Fall is better for driving around but I think there's just as many cops.

theres more real race cars in the fall... but it is the same week as the yellowbullet shakedown so who knows whats gonna be there... I personally thought there would have been more **** at the spring show and not just posers and diesel trucks

That would be great!! Those damn crop-dusters were really annoying. I actually might consider the fall show now. Although for me:
less burnouts=less fun

So consensus is there's less show cars?

Obviously less regular cars means more shenanigans

I don't go to see the show cars. I'd imagine there is a similar turnout like Spring for that.

I just booked @ Castaway's for 10/4-7

Show cars meaning non-pedestrian cars....drag cars, classics, ls1tech cars, etc.

I have yet to visit the actual show.
