GoodGuys 2004 muscleCar of the Year

[sYc]

Colin, I agree, that sucks... And what is sad, you are not the first to suffer the same fate. Many of us supercar owners have been down the same road, from some of the top shows in the country. That was the reason for SCR1, to provide at least one show a year where owners could display their car(s) without the usual games. And, thankfully, since SCR1, other shows, Gibb, York, Berger, have begun providing similar venues to showcase our cars.

I was once told at a large Chevy show that I could not compete for best Camaro, as I had a Yenko, not a Camaro.

What is a shame, the public is the one who pays when this type of thing happens, becasue, as you said, you will avoid these shows in the future.

Goodguys is not very concerned with numbers cars..stuff like the skull thingy that Charley posted is their bread and butter...the Camaro must have been nice and who knows..maybe mis-represented to the judges...plus I heard from reliable people that they knew the scrawny geek with the GT500 was Colin and they couldn't have a picture of him associated with Goodguys for fear of scaring people away.

But Gags, I had my pants on - how did they know I was scrawny ? Oh wait, I thought I saw your old lady there. Can you please tell her to bring my shoes back? I had no idea you were such a good runner. Still sorry about all that

Tom,
I like your Yenko story. I had a similar problem with my 69 Hurst/Olds at a show last year. The guy classing the cars put me in with the 442s. I told him that a H/O was NOT a 442, and that I should be properly placed in another class. He decided to show me how much he knew and looked square at the mailbox on the hood and said "Listen, if you've got that 442 cubic inch engine, you are a 442. It says so right on your hood!"

I threw it in reverse and went home. I couldn't argue with logic like that! I am just glad he didn't see any correlation between the "HO" on the hood and my girlfriend in the pasenger seat !

I saw the clone Yenko at that show. It was nice looking and clean but anyone that knew anything about basic Yenko ID could have picked it out as a clone.

The Orbit Orange GTO was one of my favs!!!

I've heard similar things about GoodyGuys shows.

I imagine the fact that Yenklones are so popular now has something to do with it. Damn The Fast & The Furious II and its producers!!!

csx289,

You were lucky to even be at a show that had a class for 442's! I have been stuck in some wierd classes with my '69 H/O. In certain shows they almost want to have it in a custom catagory! As for anyone calling my wife a H/O, they might feel funny waking up in the hospital!
