Sophomore Jinx

          Last year, at their initial event, the folks behind the Sycamore Township Summer Bash and Car Show had a tremendous turnout, so much so that even they were surprised by the number of cars and the mass of people who were wandering around enjoying them (see my initial post about that event http://turnerbudds-carblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/first-time.html).

          This year there was something of a sophomore jinx. Only a handful of cars rolled out and while they were nice examples of classic and collectible cars, it was nothing compared to last year.

          Explaining what happened, why there was such a fall off in interest is hard. There was another prestigious and long running show held the same day and only a couple miles away (http://turnerbudds-carblog.blogspot.com/2012/08/you-cant-touch-this.html). But that wouldn't account for such a dramatic decline. Maybe you just have to chalk it up to bad timing and the sophomore jinx. In the mean time, enjoy some of the cars that did show up for this year's event.
