I have been to 8 of the 9 years they have had this contest and it has become more and more obvious to me that while this may be a great fund raiser for the rotary, it is far from being a team friendly event. In fact it seems to me more and more each that we aren't really much more than a distraction for them.

While the venue is very nice, getting there can be a pain unless you know the back roads, the payouts are very low and the entire event revolves around the public and not the teams. The bathrooms get locked up at night, the porta Jon's don't get cleaned until late morning and the volunteers driving the Rangers back and forth all day refuse to pick up the trash from teams and will even drive around it if you leave it out (trust me i tested it). Being refused breakfast for not having a ticket is absurd. The ice situation is ridiculous, having to pay a marked up price is adding insult to injury. It's also extremely annoying to be repeatedly told we aren't allowed to have our vehicles there (even if it is within your site) while the vendors and people doing demos drive in and out all day. I wasn't there 15 minutes and in the process of unloading on Saturday morning before I was asked if I was going to move my truck.

This is as close as it gets to being a hometown contest for me and where I did my first contest ever but I don't think that I will be back. There was a time when this was one of only 2 or 3 contests in NY but that has long since pasted. There are plenty of other contests around the region that have raised the bar in terms of being team friendly and I don't think this one has kept pace.
