The pics from last year didn't show many 8's (or 7's for that matter) so perhaps an email to the organizers is in order.

I was at this show last year I think? At the time the show was baised more towards domestics than imports. I was involved in a car club and not one of our guys won anything, we had 2 or 3 cars that win something at just about every show. Some of our very nicely done cars were beat out in favor for very clean stock cars (not that there is anything wrong with that, but they judged much differently than most people are used to at your average "Car show" which is based on modifications and quality - then again that was a year or so ago things may have changed.)

I just remember it being a huge scandal and a bunch of people got really upset.

You'd be coming right by me from Fall Reev, but I just got confirmation of a bachelor party date for Sat 14th. It's a safe bet I will either be just getting to sleep, or still be awake Sunday morning. So I'm not gonna be making this one.
