yeah...why is it they lump the 71-73 with the rest?
I mean...I've seen some really nice '65, '66....70...but then the 71-73 where really a class of their own, but they put us with the rest!
I really hate that.
I know my car is far from show, but I guess I just need to put my car as "hot rod" or something....I don't stand a chance against those cars that they have spent 50k or 60k on.
Maybe..trophies are overrated. hahaha
It depends on the show, but every once in a while we get a class of our own. I've actually had a couple of nice wins against the younger ponies. At one show I was up against stiff competition, one of them a '67 GT350 that was displaying all kinds of trophies, best in show awards, etc. I actually spent some time talking with the two judges as they judged my car and I could tell they loved it. The look on his face when I won the class was priceless!
I've only been to four shows and have two firsts and a second to show for it. It's a lot of work (you know cleaning and drinking beer all day!) so I don't do many but every once in while. I'm still just a driver.
Oh...do you ever come down to Biff's on Friday nights? It's only about 20 minutes from you and usually a ton of cars there. Not sure when the season officially starts. Once it does there will be bands occasionally and a dj on the rest of the weeks. If you make it look me up. I try to get out there a couple times a month. Or shoot me a PM and plan it.
Cheers!
