Re: Best of show, first time out.

keep in mind that at a lot of these shows it's people's choice, meaning the people who are showing their cars (and their friends). Around here, there's a group of the same guys that go to all the shows. I seen (and heard) them get together and decide who's going to win, they just rotate it around their group. Their group or club, is always big enough to make it happen. Doesn't really bother me, if i went for the trophies i'd never show it. Biggest thing to learn is to not be upset when a piece of #$%& wins, it wins because these things are very political. Unless the show is "judged" by real certified car judges, then just assume the buddy system is in charge...

Re: Best of show, first time out.
When is The Villages one? We love it up there and might be a nice weekend to get away, plus I would love to see Rose in person...

She runs and drives great, hard to beat the sound of a big block at wide open throttle through 3" Cherry Bombs!

Re: Best of show, first time out.
Here is a link to a youtube video of the Villages show from 2010, this will give you an idea of the level of quality of the stuff they have.....
Not alot of trucks so Rose should get some attention.
