I've only been to one on the square this year and it was ok but there was a chance of rain that night too so I think it was less busy. I've had a few people tell me they only go to this one during the fair weeks cause it's really good.

I went to the car show last weekend at Pav's in Hebron. It was really good. I'll post some pics up later.

Awesome! I have been going to Crown Point car show the past few Thursday and it's a lot of fun. Saw a beautiful white C7Z there last night.

Tonight is the last Valparaiso car show for the year. I've heard probably 300 cars go to the last show. We'll see. Definitely awesome weather for it

Also Super Glued next weekend at US41. My car isn't ready but I'll be there Friday evening and all day Saturday. Should be awesome. I saw an all carbon fiber fox body grudge car that's going. Looks mean. Lol

Good info! I haven't been able to make it to any Crown Point shows at all. Valpo show tonight might be do-able, but so far I'm headed to Griffith Rock & Rail show. That's tonight at 5.

The cars are usually in full force by 6. Might start s little earlier but that's the earliest I've been. Goes til about 8 but it seems like a few cars usually start leaving around 7. It's cool cause there's cars at the car show where they have the road blocked off, then more nice cars parked around the courthouse and usually a ton of nice cars driving thru. They have a DJ and a hot dog stand too.

Btw Super Glued at Us41 was amazing. I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who likes to watch drag racing. I'll definitely be racing in it next year. It was a blast. Just some awesome cars there. Well organized it seemed from a spectator's perspective. They had some head to head stuff between car groups, jet cars, grudge racing... It was awesome. I'll probably go and just camp the whole weekend next year lol.

I'll have to get this thread updated for this year. I'm slacking lol.

Does anybody know if the Valparaiso Car Show starts today? Crown Point's started last night so I'd think so but I can't find any info.
