Hey  folks,
Taking the alternative view that car shows are cool.  I  always  liked the 
idea of giving awards for best paint, best interior  and best  underhood.  
Especially during a Judges Choice  competition. It sort of  spreads some  
extra awards 
around and  the guys that win are  really happy about it :)!  I first saw 
that  
at a Canadian Classic years  ago.  You know in their heyday  those folks 
really knew how to do it.   There was this loose  requirement for originality 
but 
showmanship really was the  order of  the day.  

Anyone from the Toronto Triumph Club on the List? BTW,  who among us  
remembers the olden days of consecutive TRA National  Meetings, Canadian  
Classics, VTR 
NATC's, TRF Summer Party's and  finally 6 PACK Trials?  Always  in that order 
during the Endless  Triumph Summers. Those were the days  of car shows, 
folks.  
If  you missed those it is like being a child of  the sixties and not going  
to 
Woodstock.

A good idea!  We used to give awards at our club shows sometimes for  things 
as bizarre as:
 
Best Diptstick- Dipstick had to be laying on a piece of newspaper spread in  
front  of car for judging
 
Best Sounding Horn
 
Best looking jack
 
etc etc.
 
It was always a surprise what would be judged, but we always had small  
engraved plaques for the winners.
