I feel that I saw the same thing on some of the shows that I have been to. I have mixed feelings about it. First, I would like my car to be judge fairly. If a car group is sponsoring the show or having the show, you can only expect them to only vote for each other. This is not right, and is not a good way to get new members to join. I think that it is sad that people and car groups do this. If I was in a car group, (and I am not) I would again want my car to voted on Only if it had merit, and not because I am a member of the club. I want to know what everyone really thinks about the car. This way, if I win and can really enjoy. Now I go just because I want to meet new people and just show off the car. I am not interested in Trophies anymore. A trophy will not make me or my car any more or any less. I know what I did to restore it and I am very proud of my car. That is all that counts. Keith Cooper
