Default Got a Top Flight Sunday!

Almost two years of working on the car and she did well!
At the SCC Calabassas Fall Meet.
Nice feeling to see and hear the compliments, advice and information passed along by all the judges.
If your thinking about pursuing one, do it! It's a lofty goal and takes time and effort, but why not???
