Hey Kristen:

When I won my first trophy for the very first car show I put my cobra in I was exstatic. It was the Mdland show put on buy the West Texas Cruisers. It was wonderful indoor show and a lot of really nice hardware was in house. We won "Best of Show". I was so very happy because we had spent three long years building the cobra and were happy to have it completed.

After the show I called Tom Meadows (ERA680HP) and told him how excited I was to have won "a" trophy with my car. He asked "what did I win". I told him "Best of Show" My chest was all pumped up like a kid with a new toy.

Tom Says, "Ok Steve, here is what I want you to do. I want you to figure out how much it cost to build the Cobra and divide that by the number of cubic inches of the trophy"

Ok said "uh, OK"

The trphy cost a bit over $1000.00 a cubic inch. It was a nice sixe trophy too. But for that I could have went and purchased a really nice one.

Don't worry. You will win a show. It will happen. The first trophy is always the best trophy. I won five trophies at one show, one year. They do not mean near as much to me as the first one does. You have a VERY nice car. You have the respect of your CC member piers. That is the best trophy anyone could ask for.
