Look at it this way, Puff.. At least if you take something home, you actually beat out a real field of competitors. The shows where they have 12,000 classes so that damned near everyone gets a trophy seem kinda silly. It's like in school where even the team of kids who looses gets an award for trying

i totally agree HardtoTop. these are the kinds of show i want to compete in. The import summer shootout was a joke, but it was a nice way to start me off.


i need to see where i stand at a real competition...and if i fail, i'll improve as you can see from me going turbo shortly.

I think you will do great

The other thing that has kept me away from shows is that you can have the baddest f'in car on the streets like you are going for, but you will not get the same amount of points that some clown with lambo doors, 5 HD televisions, neon undercarriage and stickers from every aftermarket manufacturer all over your ride.

There are show cars and street cars. To me, the show cars are a joke. Cars like yours that are tastefully and purposefully modded should take every show. Unfortunately they don't, which is why it's all BS to me.

and never driven and one for those of us who actually DRIVE our cars!

even with the wild and mild class, it's still not in order such as the Import Summer Shootout.

Wild Winners 1-20. not in order
Mild Winners 1-20. not in order

great fun

no doubt it was fun seeing everyone and hanging out though

I will always go to shows expecting never to win and if I do it'll be a nice surprise.

I've learned from years of bike shows and rallies that no matter how much money
or what you have in your ride, there are 10 guys with something better.
