Attended this yesterday. About 75 cars I guess. The first thing I noticed was there were only 5 classes. I had to enter class 1, Custom Hot Rod. As I walked about, I saw a stock production '56 chevy in my class, a '29 Ford with a supercharged Ford SB, a bone stock '55 chevy, and a '56 with a corvette engine in it. After I saw this, it got me to thinking. What is the definition of a Custom Hot Rod. Obviously my definition of a modified stock production vehicle, or custom design/built car with many aftermarket parts, modified suspension, and engine is wrong. Now, as we've all said, the trophies don't matter, but anyone that enters a show I think should expect the playing field to be level. The '29 Ford should have won the class, no doubt, but the '56 with a corvette engine did. From the outside, the car appeared bone stock. The show benefitted an upcoming mission trip this particular church is taking, so that was good. I ended up driving through a little rain getting there, but that was it for the day. Here are some pics from the show.

Had a lot of compliments on my car, mainly color, and a lot of questions. I think I sold three cars and turned down one trade. Two guys are in the same boat as Mark and Chuck, going to build in the next year or so. One guy was thinking Superformance, but I think I swayed him away from that SCOF group, didn't want him to drown when it rained. He didn't think the F5R had much leg room, so I let him sit in it and changed his mind. Many questions on "did I build it?". I finally said "no, bought it assembled, disassembled it and put it back together, so I almost built it"

Sounds like ya had a good time regardless of the "classless" confusion.
