ITB 2006.......2005 TO CROWDED NEED MORE SPACE

I have been attending ITB nearly 7 yrs. And as everybody knows ITB gets bigger just like any show does.....Ok so hear me out PLEASE!.....I got there at 8 on Fri, Sat, Sun....and by 10-11 the place was packed and hard to find a place to park. Lucky I found a place next to the Killer Lime Green Kandy Wagon that graced these pages a few months ago. But then Sean with "PLANE JANE" let me in next to him thanks Sean ....Where Im goin with this is "WE NEED MORE DAMN PARKING PLEASE!!", Its just to crowded with the infield and outside the fence, lets try to convince them to open more space somewhere like on the other side of the track.....Whos with me on this? STOP PLAYIN MIKE JONES

I dont think it was lack of space, just how some people were parking. But yea if that show gets any bigger we will need more room.
Wich truck did you have? I was up there with shawn.

not only that but DO NOT allow non show vehicles in there..now as it is..any fool can register his moms camry just to be able to drive into the show..and they need to do something so we can CRUISE durin the show around grounds

i agree with the non show vehicles we were having trouble trying to park our custom tow truck cuz of peoples saabs laying around lol

the spectators parking in the show areas has got to stop. im my opinion that was special events' fault w/ the way they price the spectators fee. its cheaper to register your car for the show regardless of what you have than what it was for a two day spectator pass.

Guys, this has been a topic of discussion between us(Craze) and S.E. for a while. PLease keep the constructive suggestions coming.

ya, I drove my brother stock 04 f150 in there just because it saved us some money and that I could sit in the a/c when I got to hot. Personally the spectator prices cost waay to much money. Tha was a rip off.

I agree on the non-show vehicles for the most part. But I took my bagged go-cart with me on the roof of my Blazer....Now if I didn't strap it to the roof to bring it in I know they wouldn't of let me drive it in. But I did part it behind my clubs tent to not waste valuable show space.

And if your club brings a tent, coolers, and bbq's in do you really want to throw that shit in the back of your ride? But I do get where your taking this. I'm not disagreeing with you I'm just trying to show that some, not all of those stupid stock bullshit in there was for a purpose.

Dave.....I live on the Eastside of Indy, Even though im not a craze member I think this would be a good disscusion at the next meeting, if I could get a invite to come....I know Todd works out here Greenfield Im guessing he still at IAF maybe I could pitch the idea to him as well...Kyle I was the primered baby blue mazda sean knows who I am just tell him its Jason From IN.....Kyle hook me up with a killer deal on a tube frame and bag my truck....LOL

Since everyone is saying the cost comparison of entering the show in comparison to spectating is messed up, let me point out two things. For one I agree, I hate when shows are like this, people just come in and then the show is clustered with poo. More importantly though, don't take this criticism as an opportunity to raise our prices, claiming "you guys said this was a problem." I'm not sure that you guys would even do this, it's just the first thing that popped in my head that someone would do. Let's try to keep our rates around the same, and lower spectators, this will bring more people into our sport anyways.

Oh, one last thing. When we went this year, I passed the entrance. Normally it was on the right by the big barn thing, but you guys moved it inside the grounds. I saw the sign for entrance but I thought that I would have to get my pre-registration package before going in. Maybe be a little more consice and informative in the signage.
