Al,
These shows need to be fun and I beieve you need to spread the trophies around if possible. So the BofS car should not win it's class. Now I'm not suggesting that you dilute the nmber of trophies so that winning a trophy means little. I experienced an embarassing momment this year when I won 4 trophies at a 600+ car show. One should had been enough for my car as there are plenty of deserving cars in that size of a show. If I had know what was going to happen I would had advise them to spread the awards out. I did at one show advise the show organizers not to give me the three awards they were planning to give me. I told them I didn't need them and to spread them around. So they ended given another car three trophies.

Just a quick note because I don't wish to hi-jack the thread, but I have always had a problem with that kind of logic, as I have run into that type of squirrely thinking before. How can a car that did not win it's own class win a best of show. It does not make sense.
