Yep I'm in North Carolina. I just got back home from a car show. The top 50 trophies went to cars from 2009 to 2023. 40 of those 50 trophies went to corvettes and Mustangs and a 1995 Ford Bronco with cow paint and horns. Very few classic cars (1950's, 1960's, 1970's) ever win.
Unfortunately, the local shows are "judged" by people who don't know anything about cars. I have a ground-up restored '29 Packard, won its class at Amelia Island back in 2006, car is still gorgeous, we chat it up with the crowds all the time and it's always heavily photographed and people pose in it for photos. End of the day, the trophies always go to late-model Camaros and Corvettes with crazy paint jobs. I can't tell you how many times I've lost "Best Classic" trophies to street rods or rat rods, and recently to a friend's heavily customized '67 Firebird, while our car is stone stock restored. We enjoy the shows, but it's very frustrating.
Where I'm at in North Carolina your judge by locals and all their local friends with nice cars or trucks win isn't that some bullshit

I really enjoyed this! Thank you!
I love the contents and I totally agree with you guys!!! 🍻
Excellent advice Thanks
Any advice hopefully helps.
I could have used all these tips back in the day
I believe you would have won many trophies with your RSX.
This may be stupid question how long should I stay near my car at a show and should I be near the car when the judging are near it
When you are a grown man but cater to 15 year old mentality. These are teenagers cars.

I totally understand how you feel. It is very frustrating sometimes.
