I had seriously planed on going to the New York GOTO with a couple CA tractors and all of the CA size equipment I could fit onto a tractor trailer, which would probably been a 7-8 hour trip. That was until I found out that you had to be a member of their little podunk two bit club to show your tractors. I have never taken tractors to show and been required to join just to show at a place I will probably never travel to again.

  The BS about insurance is more to cover the clubs A$$ than anyone else. I carry more personal lability insurance than these to bit clubs that don't allow a guest to come show their tractor. If clubs were really interested in safety, they would limit the golf carts and other various A$$ toters to those with a handicap endorsement on their drivers license.  Often once they are on the ground the kids get turned loose on then and become a menace. Of any of the large shows I've attended, they generally have a constant circle of people movers and personal A$$ toters are a hazard. Just because someone is TOO fat to move around on their own isn't a handicap. I saw this at this weekend show which wasn't big enough to need to be hauled around even if you wanted to go out to the field demos.
