I have never entered a car show that seemed to be 100% fair.I don't think I ever will.I just like to have fun.Everyone of us that has a classic car or more than one know that our cars are special.And that there is always someone with more money can do more or better than someone else.It is not about having the nicest car to me but rather about resurecting an old classic to something a lot better than it was before I owned it,and most of all having some fun,I would bet that it is fair to say that everyone has entered a show at one time or another that felt the judging was not fair.I know a local guy that gets offended if he don't win something everytime out!And grant you he does have some really nice cars.I just like to see an old classic's come back to life,have some fun and meet nice people during the whole process.I personally do not have the patience to restore a car like some people do to a 100 point show car that is perfect.For one I don't have those kind of funds.I have that old Japanese disease called FUNDSARELOW all the time!LOL I love to look at the perfectly restored cars though and just see what the people have done with them,and just imagine what it takes to get something like that accomplished.I personally would be scared to drive something like that and I love to go cruising and pull a few gears on the old Richmond 6 speed sometimes,especially up against some of the newer camaros,mustangs and firebirds.Nothing like hearing those old big blocks wind up and bump the gears,especially on a finely tuned and balanced engine.I think the best thing I ever did was remove the m22 muncie and install the 6 speed trans.something the Yenko,Copo or Zl1 guys would never do and if I could afford a Yenko or some other type of Super car I would not dare to do that either.I like cruising about 70 MPH running 2000 RPM'S with the AIR BLOWING COLD.But again I built my old hoopty to drive and cruise anywhere.I hope to make the Power Tour this year and maybe see some of you guys there.Good luck to all that enter the shows and let us see there car's displayed,hope you all win First Place.
