Took 1st Place!

Got up early this morning and drove to Fort Collins, CO for a car show. Brought home 1st place in the 1974-1982 class. Was told by one of the officials, that I was 1 vote shy of winning the People's Choice trophy. A very sweet 1957 took that home. Here are some photos.

Congratulations.

Looks like a well attended show, and you couldn't ask for a nicer location than Fort Collins.

Great looking Corvette show. Looks like it was well organized and well run; and from the results it appears the judges knew what they were doing. That dual-quad '57 car is awesome! They had to give that the nod, I think. And I believe that they gave you some 'extra credit' for saving and restoring yours (which is a super nice car, BTW).

That show was a tough show for the judges, but I think they did good... just like YOU!!!
