Out of 317 pre-registrations received we had 131 windshield slips left over. That means we have 186 pre-registrations receive their windshield slip! :woot: We also had 46 registrations at the event.

Thus - our official estimated count for this year's Meet & Greet is...

*drumroll*

232!

That does not take into consideration the cars that were part of the show but did not check-in or didn't register at the event.

That's a solid number - I'm gonna go ahead and say we had quite a few unregistered cars, though - we had a ton of cars there, it seemed.

Bakers will boost the M&G higher than Kensington ever could have. Next year will be even better - and this year was amazing to begin with!

I think there had to be close to 275 there, maybe 300. I had a great time. I thought I pre registered both of my cars, but apparently not. I only brought one because my wife had to work and I had my windshield slip in my 97 for about an hour and a guy say's this isn't a 95 Convertible. When I went back up I had to make one for my 97 so You might have counted me twice even though I only brought one. Next year both cars will be there I guarantee it.

That's weird - I'm almost positive that we had both of yours there. :? Really weird how I swear I printed them but they apparently disappeared.


And to those with the higher estimates - I think that's a fairly safe estimate but just going off of what I have to make an estimate with.

Keep in mind - the pavement parking lot holds roughly 185 vehicles. The lot was full and we were overflowing onto the grass as expected but I don't think there were more than 50 cars on the grass alone.

Yes, Great turnout...probably more if the sprinkles were not looming.

Wonderful choice of location. Easy in/out.
Also, the Crab Bisc is excellent at Bakers.

Great show guys and well done.....all the personal effort showed thru!! You can add 2 more to the count, I was there with both of my cars but didnt get there until late. You guys were really busy so I didnt bother getting my windshield slips. Wish I could have been there earlier, but didnt work out. Loking forward to next years event..!! I'm sure you will hit the 300+ mark!

Later....DK

well that cancels out the firebird because I picked that slip up first on accident. then went back and got the one for the camaro. yeah my 2010 said it was a 67 bird for like 2 hours. haha.

It was an awesome show as I had expected. I think everything went well with little to no hiccups. Great job and the car sounds just amazing! Now you're a real gearhead. Welcome to the insanity!

Congrats on another great show Brian! I am guessing there had to be close to or over 300 there throughout the day. Some people left early, come came late. And I'm sure a lot were there that didn't get their windshield tag.

Yeah - we had gotten one guy to come with a very, very nice 1st gen that I snapped one or two pictures of early in the morning. The moment it started sprinkling, he started the car and sped home from the show. Never came back. :? He probably had worse problems with the rain driving it home than he would have had if he just left it there and dried it off after the rain was gone.

Yep exactly!! I don't mind some rain drops on the cars that I can later wipe away, it's driving them in the rain that's a pain. That's when you pick up all the road grime, and it finds it's way into every little crack & crevice of the car.

Back on topic, I'm sure that if you could've counted all the cars that trickled in and out during the day we neared or surpassed the 300 mark. I know I saw some cars come in, the owners walk around, and then left again.

The show was great and I agree with the closer to 300 mark. I stopped counting at 275 and I know more cars showed up after that. Good job to all that put the show on.

It certainly went faster...:D
