Mark and the guys at Vintage Iron built that truck. The owner is Fred Mandrick's Dentist. Has a Tesla motor and batteries. Mark had also built a electric Elcamino he sold at Barrett in October.

Am I the only one that noticed the first post? Admission charge? You've got to be kidding me.

Floated for a few weeks then retracted. Still free admission for participants.

Good to know, thanks for that. Is there a place to keep up to date with possible changes? Because I get the sneaky suspicion this idea will reappear in the future. I really don't care to drive 200 miles only to find out I have to pay to enter what has been a local cruise for 30+ years. Dozens of others all around the valley to choose from. Much appreciated.

They say, as of now, there are no plans to charge a fee. From what I heard, the contract between the landlord and AEG runs out in 2 months, then the landlord will stop paying AEG for managing the show and AEG will need to cover their own expenses. So far, they have two sponsors paying about $1000 each per month. For the past two Saturdays, they’ve had a couple of vendors in their new vendor row. However, promoting those vendors has been non-existent!

We’ll see how this all turns out. I’ve learned that some AZ cities welcome car shows and some do not. Scottsdale would rather not have car shows in their city. At least Pavilions is on tribal land and the tribal council can give Scottsdale the New York salute.

Right now, there are two Facebook pages featuring the latest news. As a favor to the previous manager, I run “Pavilions Rock N Roll Car Show”. It’s a private group that requires answering an extremely simple question to join. Their page is called “The Rock N’ Roll Car Show”. I see they are under fire from last night’s “terrible exit from the cars”. I guess the tribal police could not patrol the road last night.

Sorry for rambling. My faith in AEG is wavering.

Thanks Rick for the in depth reply. Makes more sense now. Hope it all works out
