Thanks guys - I'm pretty stoked although I'm not sure I'm ready to do this regularly. I've got a lot more respect for people like Chris & Christi who do this regularly because it's a lot of work even when you've got a darn clean car.
I lost some of the pictures I took (I think my camera over heated in the sun) but here's me in the line up:
The cars and owners on both sides of me were pretty cool and fun to talk to. The guy with the red car was a hit with the kids and won the kids' choice award. The black '79 TA on my other side was super straight and the paint was about as perfect as you can get black to be.
This car was done by a kid who bought it as a real clunker (not as bad as mine though) for his high school graduation present. I know it's not a firstgen, but he got best of show and you don't see many third gens tricked out so I thought you all might enjoy:
His parents were there with him and it was as if he was graduating from college summa cum laude when he took Best of Show.
Drew: There's no competion for me next year because they went back to the "no two years in a row rule." I'll be taking it easy in the Winners' Circle next year which will be just fine by me:)
