I go to the shows to hear the random spectator who's there by chance talk about their brothers old Hemi Road Runner. It usually checks out as an old 68 Satellite or something, but the stories are cool none the less. Plus, there's that remote chance that it was actually an old Hemi Road Runner [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img] </div></div>
HA...yeah...I took my fresh resto day2 COPO to multiple local shows last year and i couldn't win a trophy to save my *ss...the shows around here are 'participant voting'...at one show I was put in the pro-street category cause the car is done-up day2 with tow tabs, there were 4 cars in that class and 3 trophies given out, guess who didn't get one... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] ...good thing there are people who still do it for the enjoyment of the cars [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] </div></div>
Oh yeah, if you allow people to vote on "Best of Show" they'll choose the biggest POS on the property. Case in point: Took my '84 Porsche 911 to an all-Porsche show-and-shine sponsored by the local PCA chapter. Lots of nice cars and nice people. Some yay-hoo shows up with his 911 coupe with a small-block Chevy stuck in the back seat! (There's always one.) Okay, I get it, 911s aren't known for their drag-race credentials so there's always people who need more. Okay, to each his own. But this was more like a poke in the eye with a stick, intended to irritate the P-car crowd--which is probably not hard to do. Not a particularly nice job either, kinda' ratty, kinda' unsanitary. So what car gets the crowd's vote for Best of Show? Yes! The ratty half-a$$ed 911 with the 350 Chevy in back! I just laughed and laughed. It really was funny. Hey, you can't expect to get the crowd you wish for (unless it's MCACN) so you must suffer the consequences when the votes are cast.
This is not a political post. If it sounds like one, I understand!
