Hey Gang!
Our Annual Labor Day show was looking like a great one; then Mother Nature decided that was too easy for San Diego. Motha Nature decided to make Qualcomm Stadium and the rest of San Diego as HOT as the face of the Sun!!! The phone was ringing off the hook until the Wednesday before Labor Day when the humidity and temperatures started to rise and rise. Then the Weather predictors starting warning people of an Extreme Heat Situation, always great for boosting attendance!!! Stay out of the Sun is at all possible was their mantra and me with an outdoor event in the lot at Qualcomm Stadium, not good.
Despite the extreme heat (triple digits all over San Diego and Monsoon humidity) the traffic was good coming early into the show. It looked like it was a gonna be a rockin' classic car show then around 10am, once the Sun was starting to really heat up, the people just stopped coming. It was so abrupt I actually drove up to the main entrance to the Stadium to make sure it was closed! Seems the heat just scared everyone to stay inside or to the beach.
I was really proud of how many people hung tough and stayed the course. 100+ degree heat can't stop a real Gear Head! lol. We even had two hot chicks in bikinis to help with the trophy presentation. Hot Chicks and Kool Kars, it was a great way to say farewell to summer and move on to our next show on Sunday, November 18 at Qualcomm Stadium.

See Ya There!
