Lets be totally honest here, 90% of the vehicle show is made up by 5% of the people that slip in some time earlier than the first Friday,rope off huge areas of grass in the prime location's. Im not sure how this happens with our overseas visitors....but it does.
With this in mind if i end up in the back and beyond I will go home when I wish.
After reading some of the other posts my conclusion is that a lot of people using the arena do so because perhaps they cant/wont/dont drive their vehicles on the road. W&P gives the opportunity to have a good thrash round burn a few gallons,and as a bonus amuses the public. Again blunt honesty here do you do it for them or your own fun.....I know which camp I am in.
Of course if your transport/fuel cost is supplimented by the show,then of course you have a duty to go into the arena and entertain the paying public.
I neither want or get any monies, I pay to attend the show (which i think is GREAT value) I spend a fair amount on fuel getting there,my vehicle is on show most of the time, so I feel no need to belt around and around in circles with people watching.
Sorry if this is a bit blunt but I don't try to polish a tu*d.......roll them glitter yes but never polish,your hands get mucky......
