    How about shut down the use for a ride to the air show. For the Wednesday night show I think it was, where we were sitting there were two pickup trucks that had been driven out onto the field. (This was near the big twin Howard's) ... one of them had EAA logo on the door and I didn't see him handing out flyers.
    So clearly personal use transportation abusing the "needed auto pass".

    Which if being driven out there then, when else is that "privilege" being abused for personal benefit versus the "necessary" things.

    It's like reality "frogger" game , not only when you are near the hard surface roads but now even on the grass around the planes.

    I saw two idiots driving gators and texting while they were driving, in crowded areas. It was ridiculous.

    I realize some of the carts are necessary but how about the Model A or T's giving rides?? Maybe I'm missing something.

    Ford is a big sponsor of the show. More brand exposure, just like Factory Five Cobra replicas.

    Back on topic. 74 miles and lost about three pounds despite the brats and pizza. I took a break from my diet regime and exercise routine. I figure an eight day vacation from that is a good thing. Camping, fresh air and sunshine helps, too.
