Most of the judging was finishing before I arrived. I spent most of my time out in the rain looking around at the beauties parked there. I have no idea how they judged the interiors. I was more of a casual observer than enything else. They started to announce winners when I was leaving.

6 cars? not much of a turn out. I was wondering if there was going to be a rain date

There were more than 6 cars. The three C1s were Bloomington Gold cars that came to our show to be judged. Considering we had rain all day we had agood turn out. Cars being judged were pulled into a tent so the interiors could be checked. No ACC club cars were elegible for judging. They were on display only. When planning a show it is difficult to have rain date because most places larger enough to have our show are usually booked. GM would not give us rain dates at the Tech Center. WE had to pay the overtime rate for security and groundskeeping. Next year is the tenth anniversary for our show so it should be a great one. Set aside the second Saturday in August 2010.
