Default Since everyone else is posting Show pictures…

I entered a local show in July this year. The show is pretty small so my class consisted of my car, my buddies '09 Challenger SRT8, and a very clean '96 Impala SS. Don't ask me what class the 2010 Camaro was in and why it wasn't in our class. The Challenger took the class...mostly because people around here love them so much. It should have taken last since it wasn't in perfect condition (and it should be since it is so new) as well as the fact that my every week wash gets my car cleaner than this car was at the show. The Impala was immaculate and got my vote. I ended up taking 3rd in the class. I forgot to bring my camera and didn't even think to take any pictures with my phone, so these are a few my buddy took. The color is a bit washed out, but you get the idea. I might enter a few local shows again, but watching my car like a hawk and constantly having to dust it off is not my idea of a fun way to spend a day and I'm too much of a perfectionist to do it any other way.

Your car looks pretty lean compared with the fatty (but well proportioned but still fatty) Challenger.

You definitely add some curves and smoother surfaces to what would be a very boxy and edgy show otherwise. Way to brighten the day of everyone around you.

I feel the same way about shows. I really don't care much about sitting around all day in the heat. But I'll get involved with putting the show on and it's much more enjoyable. Also the day goes much quicker. Here's a link to our local clubs show. This was two weeks ago and we had 92 cars show up. A good selection of British cars.
