I attended a national Alfa Romeo show in Manchester NH several years ago. There
was NO driving event requirement, although many were offered (gymkahna, driving
tours, autocross and track time a the speedway). Sadly, I couldn't stay for the
concours on the last day, and missed all the nice cars...they didn't show until
"show day", and I was told most rolled (not started) off their trailers onto
the show field.
I believe a driving event should be mandatory. If only to see the cars under
their own power... How about a s-l-o-w crawl around the autocross circuit? And
to give the casual attendee an opportunity enjoy the whole event.
BTW, with my Spider Veloce not running at the time, I took my TR6 to that show.
This past July is 22 years I've owned that car... And the ALFA is history.
Simplicity endures.

Doesn't sound like much fun.....whatever floats your boat, I guess.
