To celebrate Dubois' Quasquicentenial (1885-2010), They will be hosting a car show at the local park in Dubois on September 4th, Labor Day Weekend.

The owner of Butchie's Restaurant and Bar has had this in the works for almost a year now. He has a 2001 Corvette that he has done a few things to and regularly enters it into shows. He has spread the word to a bunch of people already over the year about it. So far, they have done pretty good with it. Every Wednesday since December, they have met at the bar and held a meeting for the judges on the car show on things they should work on and new ideas for the show. They have about 15 judges, ranging from 20's to 50+ years old.

This is rain or shine with  live entertainment Friday and Saturday night.
Pre-registration is $12 for car/truck and $7 for motorcycle.
Day of Show Registration is $15 for car/truck and $10 for motorcycles.
This is 15 minutes from Jasper and 15 minutes from French Lick.
Also to point out, this is in a shaded park. That means no baking on hot black-top all day long.
Opens at 9 AM to Noon and Awards are at 3:30 PM. (2:30 Evansville time)

Yes, there is a seperate class for the mustang guys, so they don't hog all of the trophies  :lol:  :P

They have a website for the show where you can pre-register and has other info like directions and lodging. http://duboiscustomautoshow.com/Home_Page.html

On a side note, this would be a great place for everyone to show off what all we have done with our cars at the end of the summer. Maybe a place for MAG58 to unveil his Merc build or anyone else's current build. It will give you a date to shoot for. And afterwards if everyone is up for it, we could hit up the indoor karting at French Lick for some "friendly" racing.

If people are interested in this, I can give you some more info. I'm trying to help them out with this and spread the word. I'd like to see this do really well.

ttt
2 months

2 weeks away

anyone takers yet?

are you gonna show the audi?

possibly interested...  worth going?

I'm going. John, that means you are too, so I have someone to bl... So I have someone to caravan with. That's it.

I should be able to go, Im off work that day so I'll be there

awesome. i plan on putting the car in for shits and giggles. it should be a nice turn out. and rumor has it, theres supposed to be a appearance by the Bud Light Girls... for those of you that are into boobs and butts.

and i was planning on hitting up the indoor karting track in french lick afterwards if anyone wants to join me

if you don't win anything don't let that deter you from going to shows. i took my convertible s-10 to shows every weekend for 2 years and never won shit.it's supposed to be about car people hangin out with car people.

yeah, you'll always have that one dude that shows up with a one off car completely customized, and with like 20 miles on it.  don't let that deter you from entering though!

My 20 year old, sun faded, half-engined econobox will be there. I fully expect at least 2 people from this forum to show up. The indoor karts afterward should be reason enough.

I'd be down to go if i didn't have to work.

Went karting at french lick today, had a blast.  The track has a nice layout, a little narrow but technical enough to require a good line/ throttle control.  I ran 3 times and improved my time by a second each heat so I'm anxious to get back there.  Hopefully I can take off that saturday.

hooray competitive karting!

also, i'm gonna try to make it out to this, so long as it's not a production weekend.

it'll be a damn good time. and the karting is well worth it.   

and i completely forgot about this. I know its a long drive for everyone, but there is a beer garden the 3rd and 4th at night at the same location of the car show.

very good chance ill be there, its my weekend off work...but since I took a week off, they might change that around. But Im planning on being there and possibly entering the show

enter it. im gonna have my car in it. Is everyone planning on drivin up from Eville together? I'm gonna be in dubois cleaning my car that day before. I can meet everyone in jasper if you don't know how to get tthere

I think John and I plan on caravanning up there, and I'm sure Greg will want to join.

alright cool. you have my number if you need anything

sounds like a plan, got a sweet deal on a 10" polisher tonight so i plan on detail the car this week
