Are there sponsor events doing mods? I could go for something like that, learning/doing some sort of mods. Or driving lessons/tips like how to do a Rockford or J-Turn. A detailing booth, hands-on, or do some folks bring mods to do at the shows. Surrounded by all this expert knowledge seems foolish not to be getting assistance from those in the know. Can I bring a catch can or my sequential taillights and get help with the install from those whom have been there done that. Just would seem a waste to not put all that experience and expert knowledge to use.
Now I could go for an event like that, get together detail a couple cars or do a couple mods. That sounds like fun. I definitely agree with Jay that its gotta be an amazing sight to see this marathon line of Camaros pulling into the lot! I just like/need to stay busy.

Sounds like you like to chew and screw..jk..its a show..so its a long day..and an event there is things to do...for me personally when I cover shows for NeXuS:New England. I wish there was 10 hours to a show. I start talking to people and then I know it its 1/2 goes by..4-5 interviews turn into that 5 hours. I mean strike up a conversation with someone. Some people do that. Like you said mods are something everyone can talk about. Think of it as this..you cant do a mod there..but you can learn how it was done by talking to someone. I been there and done that with my 94Z28. Almost all my mods were learnt at the shows I went to..see the car and how they did it..again thats me and what I have done. Also talking to friends, cleaning the car for judging and then lunch, walk around see burnouts..there is a lot to do.
