Discriminating car show

[Ed]

Car show go'ers beware! I entered my car at a local car show this past Saturday. Never been to this show, first time, I figured why not. I've been doing pretty good at other shows elsewhere. My first sign should have been the twenty (20) classes with NO imports.

Here they are:

1. 1900 - 1988 Prod. 11. Comm Modified

2. 1988- present Prod. 12. Modified 1900 to 1979

3. 1955-57 Chevy Prod. 13. Stock Prod. Muscle 1964-70

4. 19790-Pres. Mustang prod 14. Stock Prod. Muscle 1971-Present

5. Corvette Prod. C1 C2 15. Steet Rods all Years

6. Corvette Prod C3 16. Street Stock all Years

7. Corvette Prod C4 17. Modified 1980-present

8. Corvette Prod. C5 C6 18. Comm Production 4x4 all years

9. Mustang Prod Pre 1970 19. 1971- Comm Prod

10. Pre 1970 Comm Production 20. Special Interest

Yea, it seemed pretty biased. But, there were 2 VW bugs a Nissan sentra ricer, a BMW convertable a Triumph spitfire and my Z.

None of the foreign cars won anything. Zip, Nada. And they were all pretty nice looking especially the bugs, they looked like they just came off the assembly line.

Anyway I'll never go to another show that doesn't have an import class.

Bahhh, I'm off my soapbox now.

Who was the sanctioning body if there was one?

Several are much like the moron that heads up the Greater Boston Late Great Chevys club, He is an Automotive Nazi, and believes that American machinery is the master race, and that the rest of the autos out there are worthy of only a purge.

He has gotten two letters into AutoRestorer showing his ignorance...

We had a thread about the Historics, that had a very similar set of exclusive definitions of automobiles-but the autor in question of it was motivated solely by money, not simply contempt.
