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.
