The best part here is that
A: you had fun
B: it was unexpected you won anything
I can tell you from experience (gee, some like the
Voice of Excretement) from going to hundreds of shows, mixed make, AMC only, you
name it thru the years, the best part is going and winning a door prize or
trophy....when you don't expect it.
Somewhere along the line here I mentioned the
Planet Houston Award, which is a trophy I give out at meets, sometimes one,
sometimes three of them, but usually has a Johnny Lightning AMX on top, real
neat trophy, but always given to those owers 'whose cars show the most
potential' and the reckoning behind that is simple: a majorty of the times
it will give people a little extra boost, push them over the edge, to complete
their car. Even fi the car is a beater driver, they might go out after the meet
or afterwards and buy something, anything, to improve it. Maybe a spot of JB
Weld to fix grill, or maybe some weatherstrip, some even buy soap to wash it!
And sometimes it is all they need to get inspired to get started.
One thing on this particular list is Doc's
ramblings. I would say anyone who has ever read his posts has learned
something, I know I have, and tried some of his methods, and even modified
some of the things he has tried. But there is a lot of great tips he has
passed on to everyone here, and hopefully no matter or how small or large, it
has either inspired someone to try it, or made a difference in improving their
car, even if a small tad.
As for you, congratulations Terry, good to hear.
Something you might do is go thru my 'links' section and if there are any AMC or
Rambler chapters near you, let them know about this meet and hook up with them
and next time you won't be the only 'Mopar' there. Granted it might cost you
first place, but what the hell, if a dozen folks show up with their
AMCs.......
