At some shows this is quite the ordinary practice. If everone there knows your name you win your class.

For me I do not care that much, I go to see the cars have a good time and have a serious session with some interesting people.
If I win something its just iceing on the cake.

Default car shows

if you go to a peoples choice if you do not have many friends forget it
some shows are very political who nyou know not what you have
some judged shows are based on how clean your car is and these shows are pretty fair
the main thing about going to shows is to have fun and you will
always meet some great people and have fun

That would be like different wheels,hood change,body mods, etc. Minor changes would be like different valve caps or change of coil cover colors(on C5). Hope that gives you an idea. National Council of Corvette Clubs govern how we are to judge and they have guidelines available.

I have been going to shows for the last 25 years & politics play the biggest part in home town shows.
