I like this line of thinking, but let me suggest an alternative. I like to
enter my car in car shows, but don't give a damn for the trophy--my midget
wouldnt win crap at a crap show, but I like it. And I like for people to see
it and ask quetions about it. Besides its the best parking space at the show.
And I like talking with other people and looking at the other cars,
including the concours. And I sometimes find that special treasure at the
swap meets.
Sooo--how about having a class of cars that are entered into the show but are
not entered into the competition? Just guys like me, and I sense some others
on the list, who would like to enter but choose not to compete? I don't
want to step on the toes of the competitors, but I really am not interested
in having my DD compete against another car. It's mine, it won the
competition when I chose it--its a winner in my own mind. <g>
