Here is some information that I would like for everyone to absorb...

All car shows have some mega-buck cars on display that can only be there because of endless fund backings...
All car shows have cars that are loved and cherished by their owners and are as they are...stock or different degrees of modifications to them...
All car shows have categories for each...
It's always better to be a participant than a spectator...
Having said that...My point is ALWAYS register your car and display it!!!
Don't worry about any competition...do it for the FUN!!!
The actual judging is done by other folks that have entered in the show...
FOLKS JUST LIKE YOU AND ME!!! (or I, whichever is correct)
ALSO, your cooler is in the trunk...and you are thirsty...BUT, why is your trunk parked in the spectator lot a mile away when for a couple of dollars more it could be "Where the Action Is" ???!!!
You have something special...Show it off!!!
