Goodguys Spokane 2012

[Topsterguy]

I've heard rumors of the Goodguys show in Spokane not happening next year, but then they accepted my early registration, so far!  Anyone know anymore about this?

They talked about that this year at the awards.  The deal is, that the fairggrounds will only work one year at a time.  So every year at the time of Goodguys, the lease has not been signed for the next year.  It definately is on next year's schedule, and probably many years more.  We were told by one of the officials, that the deal there is, as long as the local clubs do a lot of the leg work, and it does not draw away from the Puyallup run, and still runs in the black, it will be there.  I don't know if anyone noticed, but there were NO empty spaces in the public parking, including all the way behind the grounds. And we all know, the spectators are where the money comes from.

Okeedokee  Doug , thanks for the info!   I had talked to a few guys that were there this year ( I couldn't make it this year) and they said they figured the numbers were down quite a bit and there were rumors. so I was wondering.  I just found out that Andy Brizio is doing "the last Andy's Picnic" as a celebration of his 80th birthday next year and it's the same weekend as Spokane - that'd be one to be at!

I think the final count was within about 50 of usual.  In the 1100 range.  Have you ever made it to Puyallup?  It will be the 25th next year.

Make it to Pyuallup every year since it started , except a couple when we've had Deuce Day here in Vctoria. It's always a good show - great venue and great socializin!
