Won my 1st Trophy !

Went to a local cruise / show this past Sunday. I was "forced" by on of my friends to put my car in the show area with the rest of the Corvettes.
I didn't think it was worthy enough to be there with the rest of those gorgeous Vette's but what the hell, i went ahead and much to my surprise my car was announced at the end of the show as one of 3 "Best In Show"

I think $20.00 would have been enough instead of the $50.00 I gave the guy running the show !

This is what i was parked along side of

My Friends 97:

Rest of the Vette's:

Hey Lou. Congratulations. It really feels good and surprising to win your first trophy/award. I love the Mallet 435 engine shot. I knew a guy in VA Beach that had one. Fastest car on the dyno. Never broke traction on the street. Still a great car.

Congrats Lou. Does the show you were at happen often ? I live in NYC and shows are not too common here. I'd like to take the trip next door and join the next show. Lol.
