if i may add, it also irritates me when one car/owner sweeps almost all the categories.
one of the VERY VERY few judged shows ive been to was kinda sad. this one car took 10 out of the 12 categories. It was a fiberglass duce coupe. whoopdie do. i thought there were plenty of cars there that deserved some recognition!
i grew up in east texas and people take their old cars seriously because its not money just poored into these cars, its time,love,horse-trading work or tools or whatever and they really don't have $100,000 to put into a car so when a fiberglass bodied coupe won best in show about 12-13 years ago with all the night spent straightening 60 year old metal and all that work ---- somehow that fiberglass bodied car that someone just bought and brought to the show was set fire --- thats why i liked it when i was a kid where we all just met at Wienerschnitzel hot dog place and hung out in the parking lot admiring each others cars and buying/tradin cars, maybe a quick race or two -- it was all laid back and was the best -- organized things always end up so political and so buddy-buddy wins the prize that it takes all the fun out of it --
