I hear and respect all the POVs that have been expressed.
My POV is that museum pieces belong in museums.
I have used all of my cars as drivers, LBCs and others. The idea of
restoring one of my cars to the point that I wouldn't want to drive it
is repugnant to me. However, it's only my POV. So how abot the
following:
* A grouping for trailer queens of any class. Must be original to the
last split pin.
* A grouping for drivers of any class. Handling and safety upgrades
allowed, but no polished fuel lines, etc., allowed. Do you get the
idea?
These are broad guidelines. I recognize that the idea leaves lots of
room for nit-picking. It does eliminate the "what's original" conflict
from the general show, I think. "If you drove it up here then it's a
driver...."
Many of us love to drive our cars, that's why we have them. It would
be nice to be able to drive a long way to and put our cars in the show
without knowing that we'll be made to look like junk by the "almost
trailer queens." How to tell?
The more i write the harder it seems to accommodate everyone......
Cheers,
CR
