These "technical" shows can be a bummer if you're hoping to win an award. Judges for these events who award points for how original a particular car is often frown on replicas. Neighborhood cruise-ins are typically more fun and Cobras almost always place in the top 20. Plus they are held in the evening when it's cooler so they don't require sitting in a parking lot all day. Tomorrow there will be cruise-ins in Athens, Calhoun, Dahlonega, Ellijay, Gainsville, Kennesaw and Loganville. Hey, pick one close to home and drop in. Awarding is based on sex appeal and Cobras are at the top of the list.
