Alright folks Albany Speed Shop needs your help now if ever. The United Customs and Classic Vehicle Convention has been cancelled due to issues with the promoter. At the last minute he cancelled the show for reasons unknown to all of us as no one has been able to reach him now for three weeks…
And back to a free car gathering it is…
karma
So what happened to anyone who paid and pre-registered?
fucked. lol
if you want to go to a good show and aren’t a little bitch about driving you will be at tuner evolution/black iv, or you can be a moron and drive the other way and go to hin.

Pm me. I got some pop pops and sparklers
Let’s be honest, we all saw this coming. You took a car “meet” with 1200+ cars and tried to make a buck off it. Ran it straight into the ground, good job
Keep in mind this WAS NOT a Albany Speed Shop Production. We were mearly a sponsor and helping hand. The promoter and owner of the show is not affiliated with Albany Speed Shop.
In the future when we do hold an event and are the Promoter there will be a different outcome. Do a “good job” telling the correct story.

Wait, so everyone who pre reg’d basically lost their money? Is this real life. How have charges not been filed on the promoter?
Presenting / Sponsoring is not Promoting…

This is a vehicle convention at a venue. This is not a meet in a parking lot where you’re going to be asked to leave. If you like a car meet then thats cool, however as a convention, as the title may imply, there is considerable work involved associated with expenses.we’ll be asking for you to bring non parishable good to donate to them. We We have approached the military and are working with them to have their “interesting” cars on site… There is way more going on then hey guys, ill meet you at 9pm in walmart and then we’ll get kicked out cause of some idiot and have to all pick up and travel somewhere else.Expenses? You have no idea…renting venue, fireworks, dyno, security, t-shirts, stickers, trophies, plaques and the list goes on… I can tell you for fact, they’ll be nearly 10k involved in this operation plus Insurance, bank fees, web fees and so on. We decided to do something no one else was doing and pull together in a safe and comfortable atmosphere all vehicles that people build, love and carry their pride in everyday. We appreciate what people do to their vehicles no matter how bought or built how old or new…just the fact that you love it and it yours …matters… So if you think theirs is junk, well thye might have worked their ass off and have what they can…that doent make those cars any less prided then the one someone bought done for 100k. Does it?
Dinner is a pass through…its cost us $20 per plate and that what ur paying… the cash bar (like to see one of them at a meet or car show…NOT) is also not ours , but its available for those who like it…
So in the end ask yourself…is $30 to much to get in with my car? Espescially when we’ll blow $30 on fast food tonight for supper or twice that drinking in the bar… I think not.
I encourage you to re think your view. I understand your first glance thoughts…really I do…but the benefit in safety and security alone make it worth it. The connections to the charities and other local “in need” operations will benefit from this ON TOP of making the “car scene” perhaps a little more tolerated then it is locally right now.
If you feel $30 is too much, pay $10 walk around and park in the spectator lot. NBD. Its ok…but when you see whats replied and all who’s coming from 100’s miles away I think you be sorry you and your awesome vehicle were not parked dead center in the middle of it.
Just my .02
