Default Re: Super Chevy Indy

We displayed a COPO and a 69 Yenko at Indy a few years ago. We felt that it would be a fun time being that they are always saying that this is the grandaddy of all SC shows. We had a ton of people enjoy the cars, but the SC staff ignored the cars and did not even judge the cars on Saturday. When we asked if they would judge the cars they sort of gave us the cold shoulder and sent a person over that could have cared less. We did not have any sofseal, diehard batterys, BFG's or Summit speed stuff on the cars and were not considered for anything. I do not care about trophys but we had cars that were competitive in that show. We received nothing that weekend. Gustin told us that he did not have an experienced staff to judge correct restorations. I felt that for the amount of money it costs to show at an SC event that qualified judges should be no problem. He told me that he could not afford it! Every other time we have shown a Yenko at SC we have been put in classes that are really not for us. Until Gustin changes his ways we will stay at home. I am sure nobody cares about this rant, but I will go were the real enthusiasts are. Clary is right. everytime a big show needs a shot in the arm they want the Super Cars. Ask the guys that were at Indy over ten years ago with the special Super Car display. I doubt if you will get a favorable response...BKH
