Wow is an understatement. The World of Wheels /Autorama put on by the ISCA and its Sponsors was amazing to see and participate in as an exhibitor. From Thursday to Sunday or setup to tear down it was an exhibition in who had the most money or needed the biggest penis extension known to modern man.
3 guys from Maine went to the Big City with a 32 Roadster that they felt was on par with the average built rod found in Maine. When the boys got to Boston they were met by $75,000 to $150,000 Roadsters, built by big name professionals and owners who cut checks and not knuckles during the build. They soldiered on and set up their spot with cheap ass Carpet, Plumber Cones from the local Homies Depot with some Yankee engineering and Duct tape, they showed the Gold Chain Swinging Meat Puppet Masters that we don't use Penile Extensions to get the job done.
Awards came to the owner and leader of the crew of 3 in the form of OUTSTANDING IN CLASS and limpness filled the air except in the little corner of the Hall where 3 guys from Maine stood with smiles the Cheshire Cat would have proud of.
Egos, Posturing, Politics. All part of the hobby, but the 3 guys from Maine didn't remember that part or even acknowledge it until the Wee Hours of the morning on the way home.
Congrats to Paul Nadeau for representing the way it should be and bringing home an Award.

Congratulations to Paul for a mighty fine automobile, it showed very well and you guys did a nice clean set-up with no fancy gizmos or loud music. As we say in Maine "You Dun Good" not to mention you had a good time while you were there.

Well said Bob!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Paul and all of that went to the show!! Great to see Maine represented outside of the state. It is great to see that people will still recognize that it is not just money that goes into a great car but also alot of blood, sweat, and tears too!
