Here's how it works at car shows....a feather in my cap

Last year I won best muscle car at a local show. I was chosen by a Mopar guy (sponsor's award). I remember the stir it created.....one guy yelled out "that's no muscle car" (I just smiled). Tonight I got a flyer for this years show......the muscle car class is now "MOPAR muscle 64-74".......no Chebby or Furd muscle, just Mopar. And I'm gloating all over again. :Brow:

 

:grin: Nice, Joe! :beer

 

Joe....on Show day, cruise by real slow holding the trophy out the window

.....and then LET HER RIP!!! JOHNNO Style Burnout :3gears: :3gears:

 

:laugh: :laugh:

 

Mopar Guys Just Jealous They Dont Have A Kool Riv To Win That Trophy :tu:

 

Actually, it's politics......the sponsor being a Mopar club member himself prolly felt pressured to chose a car from the club. Rather than make his friends mad, he picked something non-Mopar that belonged to a non-club member. Most of the guys putting on the show belong to that club. :Smarty:

 

You should go ask if you can be a judge at this years event... :laugh:

 

Yeah, I got burned at a local show several years back. Votes were for a POS Challenger 440 over my car. The guy wouldn't even lift his hood until I badgered him into it.. what a mess, wiring, oil everywhere, etc. But he was a club member and I wasn't. Lots of folks came up to me to say I shoulda got it. Oh well.

Got my kudos however. The local paper photographer took a couple shots of me and the GS and put a 6x8" color shot in the paper and captioned it "Local Muscle".
