Thanks Jeff,
We always hear rumblings about the Tulsa Shelby meet, but rarely get to see any of the classic Shelby's that were there.
Yes we've heard that allot related to the attendance at all of the Shelby shows - IMHO much more than what is seen at Mustang shows - attendance appears to be down and I think we all believe it should be more. Would never try and judge attendance of a show by the number of cars entered in the Concours judging since that has allot more outside factors that can cause ebbs and flows year to year. But the number of cars in the parking lot or at the popular vote is a better measurement. Also repetitive shows (same time and place every year) have their own issues that can affect low turn out from year to year.
Didn't stay this year for the last day so can't comment on the turn out. Didn't even take a picture the whole weekend which may be a first.
But often it's part our fault since many of us are the ones not bringing the cars out. Not to say there are not good excuses, not my job to say, but it's a circle. Less owners bring cars, less people and owners that enjoy them attend.
