Frank "spikes" a spridget and the teams try to find the problem and get it running again!

That's me buggered then!
Good job Jack - It's still top of my list this year, if I can get me 5-speed in in time....if not, trailer!

 

[Jim_Gruber]

OK I just committed and made my reservations a few minutes ago. As of this morning there are only 20 rooms left available at the Inn @ Grand Glaize for 26th, 27th, & 28th.

Only Double Rooms left, Rate $84+ Tax $92.80 per night.

C'mon Ray, lets not be pretentious (like a lot of those car shows). We should call it like it is. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

If I make the show, I'll try to bring my '58 for that category.

Jack - for as many cars as you exspect, that's a mighty thin group of trophies!! I'd think you'd almost have enough cars coming to give trophies for each series of car (MkI, MkII, MkIII, 1500) , not just SWA & RWA!!

 

[Trevor Jessie]

You may be right Tony, but (as someone that is unlikely to win a trophy) I'd rather save money on trophies and have a nice Dash Plaque for everyone.

Our local car show does a class winner, and then multiple "awards of excellence" depending on the size of the class.

 

[tony barnhill]

I'm just thinking out loud....300 cars, 5 1st place trophies for original & 5 for modified...so 300 cars, 30 trophies...slim pickings!

 

[Trevor Jessie]

You're correct Tony. Our car show has about 250 cars and I think we usually have about 80 trophies.

 

[jlaird]

I hear ya.

 

[Billm]

As for the "junkiest" award-- I always thought that was supposed to be called "Toad of the road" (obviously this is far,far more politically correct, which is always important!)

[RickB]

hmmm...

Now I'm tempted again.
Google Maps say it's 2003 miles from my house.

 

[Billm]

I'm going Rick--- wnat to convoy?

 

[Branson]

im thinking I may have a shot at Junkiest Sprite! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

 

[Trevor Jessie]

And... junkiest sprite must be a licensed/registered/insured car. (Just to keep the playing field level)

 

[Baz]

Who is going?
Not only pre-registered at the hotel, but planning on it?

 

[tony barnhill]

And what constitutes "modified"? Because I have an aftermarket steering wheel, am I "modified"? Because I'm adding an anti-sway bar to a car that didn't have one, am I "modified"?

That's gonna be a hard one to quantify, Jack....you guys are gonna need to sleep on that one....

 

[jlaird]

Just in case you forgot about the store.

Get em while they are hot.
