Not Ranked
This was one time I was happy to be towing the trailer. Medium rain on the way home. But once I hit Rockwall, it was like the Six Flags log ride. Unbelievable rain and wind. Our rain meter reads 4" from yesterday and last night.
Observations about showing my cars.
If I have to hear "is that a real one?" one more time, I'm gonna shoot myself. I thought showing the Mustang would have spared me. Even if it is a GT350 clone.
Types of people who are tough to deal with at shows:
a) The dude who just won't leave because he wants to tell how he's going to totally fix up his dads old 64-1/2 Mustang as soon as dad dies and he saves up enough money.
b) The guy who knows so much it's almost boring. He trumps you on everything said. Even knows what brand of toilet paper ol' Shelby uses.
c) The ones that just don't understand road racing. "Nope, not a drag racer. Nope, not dirt track either." "Yes I turn left, but right also. Yes part of the track is flat, but we run up and down hills too." "No not on city streets, it's a closed coarse". "Oh good Lord no, this is a VINTAGE RACE CAR. We don't "rub" each other off the track to win". "Nope, we don't use nitrous. That would be cheating".
d) The ones with kids who ask to sit in the car. But then won't get out!
Now don't get me wrong, I enjoy showing. But ya hafta deal with a bunch of knuckleheads just to talk with one or two great guys. I guess the world is being invaded by stupid.
