Interesting trophy?
In a weird turn of events at a local VFW car show, I got the "Best Racecar" trophy?
It's also different than the typical trophy I usually get. Anyway both Vettes won today, mine and my girlfriend picked up "Best Early Corvette", with the 88 C4.
We are burnt to crisp, first sunburn of the year!

It was definately strange...cause the "one" judge didn't even look at the cars....just the window numbers. It was truly a disappointing show with only about 25 cars. A stock yellow C6 with NO mods took "Best Corvette", that is the way it is and you can never outguess the gene pool. Oh well, we did have some good company!

Cool trophy. I like the more unique rather than the typical "bowling" style. Congrats by the way!

I like the trophy and agree that the judging was a little strange. Congrats on the awards you and your girlfriend won.

Nice grab of a trophy!
Thanks,Matt
