Go Mango
Never enough beer...
My wife entered me (against my wishes) in my first "judged" car show last Saturday. Surprisingly, I got a top 40 award out of 131 entrants! And I had the only A body there!
Love the ratrod! Refreshing to see one that isn't a small block chevy or a flat head Ford!I drove my ratrod to a car show once and the guy at the gate talked me into showing it in their ratrod class. I did . And a guy with a 2016 Camaro won the trophy. Go figure. My last car show. LOL

Love that!! I'm wanting to do a rod after my dart is finished. I don't necessarily want a rat rod I want it to look clean and finished I want like a 30s Plymouth coupe.I drove my ratrod to a car show once and the guy at the gate talked me into showing it in their ratrod class. I did . And a guy with a 2016 Camaro won the trophy. Go figure. My last car show. LOL

Nice Dart. I see why it did well!
A 2016 Camaro won the Rat Rod class? Or are you saying the Camaro took top place? Either way,... a 2016 of anything should not be shown in my opinion. Really??.... 2 years old and it's being shown in shows??
I bought a 2010 Plum Crazy Purple Challenger when they were offered on a limited run. We drove it out to the Nationals in Ohio, but never even considered showing it. Why would I show a new car. Anyone could just go to the dealer and look at them.
Must be a friend of the promoter. I'm not a big fan of judged car shows because of that fact.
I agree. Not a fan of "bring friends and win" car shows. I went to the local cruise-in every Saturday evening, all summer long and really had a great time.I agree. Something stupid going on there. 2016 Camaro wins the Rat Rod class.... Yeah,.... that makes sense..... Not!
I have never entered any of my cars in any car shows. Driven them to them,... Yes. Entered them,... nope! I've had a couple people question why my Barracuda was sitting in the spectator parking area. I just said I didn't have time to stay all day, but wanted to come see the other cars.
Most shows don't like you leaving part way through the show. I prefer cruise-ins where you can stop by and meet other car guys, then leave when you're ready without anyone getting huffy about why they didn't win something.
