Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Drivers Class

[Terry.Atkins@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

That was interesting what Buick did for the drivers class. I don't know if I 
read it right. First you have to drive from where you live to the show. That 
makes since. I noticed that rust didn't count against you. That kind of made 
since too while I guess if you had one in great condition you would put it in 
some other class. Sounds like they are trying to get owners of classic Buicks 
and their cars there no matter what condition the cars are in. I like that. 
The part that I didn't get was the judges didn't have any kind of sheets with 
them when they judged the cars but they were going to give everyone a written 
statement why they didn't win. That didn't make much since to me. Oh well 
while I find the judging interesting it really doesn't effect me. This is the 
first nationals I have been to in seven years and it might be my last unless 
they have another one close to me. If I ever put on a AMC, which I am not so I 
am really talking out my ***** I would do it like they do in the Special 
Olympics. Give out three trophies for the top three places then give out a 
small one for everyone that shows up. Everyone comes in forth place. You 
deserve something just owning an AMC.

If you want to se how it's done for some of the major auto makers, go to Buick Club of America.  They have an extensive set of rules on how to judge their cars, but the interesting one is the driven class. check it out Paul

I thought the only reason they said you had to drive them into the show was to
make sure they were real cars. I went to a commercial car show today at the
local fairgrounds and I would bet money that some of those cars don't run.
They had chrome everything and the insides of the exhaust pipes were even
clean. Now this would be a problem with mine too Doc. If it is a hot and rainy
summer mine won't get 750 mile put on it. Now if it is a nice summer it could
get maybe a 1000 on it. Still even if I have it painted you are going to tell
it is a driver. I guess I will just put it in the non stock class. I don't
expect to win anything. I would put in it the display only class but according
to the pictures I saw of last years they were put an area my themselves. I
want to be with the other Gremlins.
