Default Dells car show, is it worth it?

We were planning on driving down with a few guys to the Automotion car show in the Dells next weekend, but I have been hearing how the cops have just become total a-holes that weekend. I can understand keeping it safe, and giving tickets to people acting or driving like idiots, but I have heard they will even harrass people walking the streets. I have never been to the Dells show, but it sounds like it used to be a lot bigger and better. What do you guys reccomend doing/ seeing while we are there.

Been going for 7 years now. Cops have been about the same for the last 2 years. Just dont be an idiot on the main drag. We take our fun out of town a ways every year. Not sure about getting messed while walking around though. Thats new 2 me. Just watch out for the cops on pedal bikes! they are sneaky hahaha




Vid my friend made from last year. I had my black z28 at the time. This year is goin to suck since I just have a stock M3. O well. Have to go find some twistys haha

Sounds good. Ive actually watched that video a couple of times before and it always gets me excited to head down there for the show. We will be heading down there on Sat. morning and hanging out until the evening. We are hoping to find a little friendly racing action outside of town. Ill be driving a Silver z28 with prostars and a billet grill. Stop by to shoot the breeze if you see me.

Is this a free show? Never heard of it, but looks good from that video. Seen that orange Jeep CJ7 a few times, that is one Jeep to be reckoned with.
