Car Show for "Make a Wish Foundation"
Hi guys,
I was able to get my car out to it's 1st judged show of the season yesterday. It was a charity event for Make a Wish Foundation and was sponsored by the Knights of Columbus in the small town of Cadet, MO 65-miles South of St. Louis.
There was a great turnout and the MC said they had 254 paid entries. They had a BOP Class so that's what I entered my '67 in. The judges had some nice cars to choose from in the BOP Class, and they chose one of each (BOP) for the 3 places they were giving out. A really nice '70 Pontiac GTO Ram Air III Judge took 1st, I placed 2nd, and a very nice '69 Buick GS 400 Vert placed 3rd.
I displayed my framed copy of my car's NFL story that was in JWO last January for the 1st time, and spectators really seemed to enjoy reading it and want to find out more which led to nice discussions. It was a really enjoyable day until the drive home around 5pm when I hit torrential thunderstorms on the way home, luckily there was no hail. Now just lots of cleaning and detailing before the next judged show this coming Saturday.

Keith and Norm - Thanks for the congrats, much appreciated!
This was also the car's 1st judged show with the SS1's on it. I don’t have any hard proof they made any difference in the judging, but I had spectators tell me they looked nice and were in great shape. I really appreciate you guys who encouraged me to pull the trigger and put them on.

Congrats on the prize. Too bad about the ride home.
I don't think I'll get to go to any shows this year. My car needs an exorcism, every time I open the garage door and look at it something else breaks or something I already fixed breaks again. And when it's fixed and ready to go it rains.

Thanks for your opinion on the SSI's, I agree 100%. Wasn't sure I would like them as much, but I am sure glad I finally pulled the trigger and put them on at the encouragement from many on here.

Thanks James! I am not a fan of Redlines, except for on a Red cars like yours, or potentially a white or black car with red interior. I just don't think they'd look right on an Aqua car. I've always liked raised white letter, and when I decide to replace the BFG's, I'm thinking of getting some Mickey Thompsons.
