Thread: first car show

looks like you have already got a lot of excellent advice , and i would say it a lot of judges go by details , sometimes just the smallest detail will help you win a show and beat the guy who spent the most cash or made the most trips to autozone..
have you looked under your car lately to see how dirty it might be?
there are a lot of shows i have attended that they would break out the mirrors and have a look see at your chassis , there are judges out there that love to look for things that they know not everyone looks at..
but the most important thing to do is have fun , dont let it get you nervous
and dont sweat the asshats you will come into contact with .. just have fun
and sometimes the trophys just come along , but it is true after the first half dozen it does wear off , my wife calls me a trophy ho as i have a few , but she just wants them out of the house because as others have mentioned they just collect dust after awhile........ good luck , have fun!!!

we will be exspecting lots of pics!!!!!!

Thank you all so much for all the advice. I looked at pics from last years show and ther were some really beautiful and expensive cars there. I am hoping that someone will look at mine and realize all the hard work i have put into it by hand. charlie on the other hand being young just wants to place higher than me. typical 14 year old. I will take lots of pics and just try to relax and have a great time. This car show is to celebrate the birthday of the oldest working courthouse in the U.S. They are going to have hot air balloon rides and a demonstration of a medvac as well as by Va. state police. One of the main reason i entered our cars was not to have to take a shuttle bus 3 miles to get there from the parking lot. That way I can keep a eye on my car and hopefully get invited to other shows and events. I am alot calmer today after reading all of your advice. With anxiety disorder that is saying alot. Again Thank You.
