Here's my 2 cents: Those of you who know me already know how I feel about trailers. For those that don't know me, I think trailers are for cars that are still being built, are broke, or you're moving and have more cars than drivers.
With that said, I actually don't mind being in a show class with trailered cars - I love it when my El is picked over the trailer queens - even with the paint chips and bug stains! The funny thing is I've probably got more time and money in the paint than most people put in their entire car - trailer queens included. In spite of my investment in the paint, I built my car so I could enjoy driving it - rain or shine. I don't purposely wait until a rainy day to drive it, but if I'm on the road and the sky opens up, so be it. I've driven my El on two complete Power Tours, one Chevelabration, numerous shows two or more hours away from home, more rain storms than I care to remember, rush hour traffic, gravel roads, you name it I've probably driven the El in/on it. My reasoning is simple - I have a pick up for normal every day use. So why would I want to drive my pick up with the El on a trailer to go to a car event? What's the point of building a killer engine and drivetrain if it's going to sit on a trailer doing 55 down the interstate? If people want to trailer their toys more power to them. I'll continue to be trailerless and enjoy driving my old cars and even beat the trailer queens at the car shows once in a while! :) Herb Lumpp http://users.adelphia.net/~hlump/index.htm -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Matthew Post Sent: Friday, August 26, 2005 12:03 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Trailered vs. Non-Trailered Cars at shows Donnie, I agree with John that the non-trailer guys would like a separate class.
