SONG AND DANCE

Hotkarz is a real good site for info and opinions usually not about cars. However it has put out a book on how to put on a Car Show with all the ins & outs & arounds associated with making your car show exactly the same as the next and the next, so forth and so on.

Don't take this the wrong way, it's a good GUIDE. It will help you with your show as a GUIDE, that is written on paper, not etched in stone. Ideas are plentiful and the reasoning behind most of it is sound.

It has made some good points about classes, judging etc, other than that it's pure bull shit. Anybody smart enough to write a book should know better than to piss off an entire sector of the car culture by stating that fiberglass street rods should be put in the kit vehicle class.

What needs to be done is seperate the street rods into glass and steel if there are enough vehicles to do so, but don't seperate them to the point that they are in with the fake porches and the wanna be cobras. you are comparing apples and oranges and pissing the true rodder off. the replicar market may be booming but street rod bodies are more caricatures of the real thing and thats just the body not a kit. with the wanna be cars you get the chassis and body add running gear and tires and now you have your car. With street rods you get your choice of chops in the body from one company, your chassis from another, and interior from the back yard homebuilt garage you own. THATS NOT A KIT.

Remember its just a guide, published by a supposed authority, in a cheap ass binder.
He must have bought a kit.
