Hmmm that has happened at shows I have been to. I can enter my car in the 70s class, so just 70s can enter.

I remember seeing a 2 year old Vett (not Chevette) winning against excellent restored
50s on up Corvettes. I have seen it happen before. Its not fair.

I am not fond going to AMC shows and see members cars win everything, not the other guys cars. I remember one show where there was a category for childrens pick.
It was a regular old Classic wagon or something that won. I thought the brightly colored American painted up like the American flag would catch thier attention first. Oh well.
They kinda mocked my dented fender and door also. Not as good of an experience as I hoped for for my 5 hour drive.

The wife and I took the Gremlin and Pacer to a
show today. I was assigned to the modified '72 to current class. Look at this photo and see the car I'm parked next to - a brand new Mustang worth more than my house. Of course, the motor head judges chose his car. Now, I ain't normally a sore looser, but I was surrounded by cars that folks spent many hours restoring and put their heart and soul into - just as I did. This kid takes daddy's money to the Ford dealer, plops down 60K, (or more?) drives to the show and wins a freaking trophy. For every two of the spectators that looked at his car, 5 looked at mine. What kind of crap is that? Does anyone else experienced this, or even bothered by this crap? Why the hell are these cars even at the show? If they have to be there, put them in a corner away from restored vehicles. OK, enough of my social commentary.........
