If it's a judged show, a stock vet is alot easier to clean and get higher points then one with alot of crap on it (like mine). But if it's a fun show just go and have fun. You will enjoy talking to all the vet people and you can pick up some pointersfor showing your car. Enjoy yourself!

Just do it. You'll never know what it is all about until you experience it for yourself. I don't know what the judging criteria will be at this show but just clean you car up as best you can and put it in the show. You'll meet some great people and probably learn a lot.
