Tiger, so riddle me this....What does the winner get out of a car show? I just went to one here about 5 minutes from me, pretty much cars from the '30s to maybe early '70s (as I remember a 'Cuda there was was more late model than the mid 60s models.) Anyway, so I was talking to one guy who said he bought his show car about a year before and had won something in each show he was at.

So the question: Do you win more than a trophy say like $$$ to help pay for the vehicles you buy? I can't believe you do especially given the shows around here are free to visit. I'm thinking you just love cars, you buy them because of that and you show them without ever having hopes of recouping the investment you make in the cars...Is that right? Sounds kinda like marriage.

jan, where do you live?

This reminds me that Ron tells the story that Jimmy Demaret was a pro in Galveston for awhile. He told Ron that he learned a lot about how to hit a golf ball by hitting balls out of the sand on the beach.
