badass man, nice work, u showed em our little space ship can take down the big guys

 

That's an incredible amount of time spent. Now that is what I call a HOBBY!!!

I guess you trailer it to the event wraped in shrink wrap. lol

Again congrats on your achievement. You are not one of the crossfire clean police are you? lol

 

Blackberry,

I had about a 90 mile drive to get there. I have to admit that it seemed to be a full time job for a while to get it ready. Fun time though.

You are amazing. I would love to hook up and take a look at your car. Maybe next year and we will drive the car instead of the fifth wheel and truck to see my son in Grapevine.

If you ever get out to Colorado Springs and want to go for a drive drop me a note, Mary and I will take you on a tour.

 

that is impressive.......

 

Nice work I'm sure you could share a detailing trick or two. No other crossfires being there I suspect helped bring you even more attention to your car. But you had to do the work to win.

I'm sure you know you can extend your hood all the way up 90 degrees? I think it makes the car look more impressive during car shows but maybe this is a mistake I'm making. I have only entered my SRT in one classic car show with about 20% new cars. I received all kinds of audience attention but judges of course are going to prefer the classic 60- 70s muscle cars. Still I had a great day and probably created a few future crossfire owners educating people about our cars.

 

Larame,

I did not realize the hood would go up that high until Blkfin stopped by at the show and passed that along. It sure does show off the compartment much better but I like to only have it half way up due to wanting to show off the lines of the car. It would draw more attention if you are judged in your parking place for instance. This show, you had to drive it to the judging tent. The five judges asked to have all doors, windows and hood closed. Once that part of the judging was conducted, you then had to open everything. All doors, hood, trunk needed to be open for the rest of the judging. I was told that this group did not like a lot of mods which altered the appearance of the cars. Usual bolt on mods were fine but nothing wild for instance. The guy that beat me was a new Challenger in orange. That guy just bought it in Tenn., went to the Carlisle show then drove it here. He came up to me and shook my hand while saying I was the one he was worried about. Made me feel pretty good due to some other Chargers and new Super Bee's were awsome in our class as well.

I also came across another guy with the same orange Challenger but this guy was different. He is being paid by Dodge to drive his car around the country to participate in the shows. Not to win but just to be out there. He was from Michigan. I talked to him for a while. He then came over to view the Crossfire. His words were holy Sh.t. I have to go get my camera. He came back and took several pictures of the engine compartment. Would be neat to see my car on his Dodge web site when telling stories about being the road.
