Default Picked up my first show trophy
It’s not much but it’s nice to be recognized. Placed top 10 with a rushed detail job. I definitely don’t go for a trophy but my son thought it was pretty cool. There was only 1 other vette there (Silver ‘60) and we both made top 10. A good day for the corvettes. Probably pissed off the Challenger guys because there was a whole club there and only 1 got recognized.

Congrats and hope there's more in your future. You have the right mindset. Go to have fun and if you win something, cool. If not, on to the next fun event. Glad your son had fun too.
