I enjoyed the show this year more than in years past. The weather was nice and there were more cars than normal. There was everything there from rust buckets looking for a new owner to restore them, to daily drivers (the 1988 Chevy pick up with a 305, oem paint, etc.), to nice cars that are driven regularly to trailer queens. Personnally I prefer looking at cars that are more about go and less concerned about "show". I have never been a fan of chromed, polished and detailed engine compartments, but that's me.

One of the cars being critisized is about 10 years old (MK1) and is a driver that has made a cross country trip NC / Vegas and back under it's own power (not trailered) and it has never had a top on it. Driving his car is more important to this owner than a detailed engine compartment, understandably so.

For many, this car show is a place to gather and have fun with people you know and let others see what you have. The majority of the cars being judged were in the grassy area between pit road and the track, you know, where the clean Mustangs, Corvettes and Camaros were. Most of the other 85% of the cars that were at the show were not interested in trying to win a trophy.
