Fortunately or unfortunately, the only show I do each year has only two classes, stock and modified. I STILL have confusion about which class to place the Cobra into. Funny, but for the first three entries I was placed in Stock Class. When I added meatballs and vintage racing decals, no other changes, the next year they made me enter in Modified Class. Go figure. Didn't know decals constituted a change of class. Oh well.

The only funny story was the third year I entered the Cobra in this show. The cars are not positioned so all cars in one class are together. I ended up parked next to a cherry 1955 Chrysler Imperial. The owner was quite stuffy. You know the type, someone with a large broomstick shoved all the way up where the sun don't shine? Well, all day he kept making reference to my FAKE car and acting insulted that a FAKE car was placed next to his GENUINE automobile. I managed to restrain from tearing him a new rectal outlet until the awards ceremony when my Cobra was voted MAYOR'S CHOICE and his car came away with nothing. I couldn't resist pushing my beautiful trophy up under his nose with the comment "Well, my car may be a FAKE in your eyes but I assure you that this trophy is REAL." THAT shut him up for good and I was very proud of myself and my car.
