I have attended the Mitty so many times I can't count them and from my observations it isn't a place to sell a modern hot rod. Those folks are interested in "old" hot rods. The free time is spent working on their cars to get ready for the next session.
Chin on the other hand is loaded with big bucks guys. There is a lot of down time between sessions and the guys typically don't do much to their cars when they are waiting - they roam the paddock and drool over others cars.
I'd be shocked if you don't have some serious interest. But again I may be wrong 
If you decide to run up for the Chin DE let me know so we can possibly hook up. |
Oh I'm sure you are correct! My time/plans recently haven't been surrounding marketing the car to be honest. We work on a lot of old cars at our shop so going to the Mitty is just for fun and to enjoy the classics. Although I just realized they are charging like $45 to get into the Mitty this year and debating weather or not to go. They are awesome cars but it is pretty much the same stuff every year.
I should probably go to the Chin event because I really should sell the car before I spend to much on it
Plus that was the original plan for the car but since I got signed up for the half mile event I've been focusing more on getting the car done and enjoying it! Got almost 4,000 miles on the conversion now so I think most of the bugs are worked out and I'm just really fine tuning it.
Got the car at the shop today and going to give it a once over and do some preventative maintenance, clean the air filter, and swap out the axles for a new set just in case. I haven't had any problems with them since I installed the spacers, but for what they cost it is totally worth it to install a new set rather then to risk having a problem that would disable the car. Keep the ones that are in there as spares.
I'll do some digging on the Chin event and see if I can make it.
Thanks!
