Congrats on the wins! I live in the south with lots of sunshine and humidity....my rear emblem is disintegrating, not just the inserts.
ordering replacement for it and the nose (looks like mildew?)...

It was great to finally meet you and after scoping out the competition I knew you were a clear winner.
That 88 was gorgeous too. I couldnt believe the paint on that thing. It looked like it was put on yesterday. Congrats on the wins!

Good job Rick! I have my first event this weekend (sure am glad your not a competitor up here in WA!). Well back to work for me, I hate so much to get my car ready WRONG! Wish me luck and maybe I'll post a win next week. Maybe we need a winners post from around the country and give pointers and show some pics. Guess I'll start it!
