My First Trophy

[jester]

Mine is definately a not a show car but I was pleased to get a third place in the "Wash and Show" class at a Corvette show on Sunday. My excuse for paying to enter is to get a good parking spot. I never expected to win anything.

Good job. A couple of years ago I went to a car show and found out that my 92 was one year too young to be entered in the Corvette class. Since I was there and the car was all cleaned up I entered the sports car class. A Delorean a couple of 240Z cars and me. Ended up taking the first place trophy. Sometimes the best things happen when you don't care as much.

First time I took my vette to a show was quite by accident. At the time I also had a classic 64 Plymouth Fury, 440 motor, cragar wheels, big cam, which I took to shows around the area.

Wife drove the vette, I drove the Fury. That way we could get up and see the sights instead of being held hostage at the show all day in the hot sun. One time, I noticed there were quite a few C4's at one show we went to, so I got the bright idea of entering the vette also, (just for the helluvit).

Came 3PM, time for trophys to be passed out. Came up to 61 to 64 Mopars and no call for my Fury at all. As we were walking back to our seats, I heard over the loudspeaker, "and for 2 seater sports cars, 1st place to the white '96 Corvette coupe".

Well, I'll be dipped! The "show car" got nothing. The daily driver got 1st place.

I can feel your enthusiam. It was a pleasant surprise for me as well. Congratulations!

Damn it Jester, I thought this was going to be a kill story. You know, how you beat a Z06, Viper or 911.
Anyway, congrats on the win.
