Last Saturday we were at a heavily advertised large car show promoted by the Cruisin Couples car club in Eustis Florida. There was a $25.00 entry fee for the show. I did not have my 442 there, but there was an absolutely gorgeous 65 Holiday Coupe there from Clermont Florida that was parked near me. At the end of the day, awards were being announced, and our section had never been judged even though the promoter claimed on the PA that the judges reports were in and the votes had been counted. I went to the promoter and asked how they could be giving out awards when our entire section had never been judged. He said what do want me to do about it? Others were irate, and some demanding refunds, which he refused. I am reporting this only because that 65 442 , again, not my car, should have easily won best in class, and possibly best in show if treated fairly. Many participants suspected that the winners may have been decided in advance. There is no way to prove it. but our section, at lease 25% of the entries, never got judged. I will never attend another show sponsored by this promoter, and would suggest that no one else should waste their time and pay their fees for a show.

That's to bad. I use to judge cars at our clubs shows and always felt the real judges should be the public that came to the show. I also felt that a brand new muscle cars should not be judged with classic cars.
On another matter, I was told by Tom (on this site who lives in my development) that the Sanford Hooters show has about 300 cars. I might chance driving there with my car (about 30 minutes away).

Let me know if you are going to Hooters, I'll meet you there. With the new 429 extension, it's only 20 minutes to Hooters from Mount Dora. That is a great show, get there early, or no parking spaces left.

I'll let you know if I'm going for sure. When do they have the show?
