Bridgton

It was fun, and surprisingly peaceful on the Peak today and a good time was had by all with few exceptions. Congrats to the Crew that put this on and decided that Composite Body Street Rods belonged in Street Rods and not in Kit/ Reproductions.

The Moal's are a good outfit and have done an admirable job in turning this show into the potential good show of the Month with some great food and a timetable that beat many shows by hours.

There was however one incident that was witnessed by several people including myself. This incident did not detract from the show itself, but the way it was handled could have led to a much more adverse scenario had it been done to someone with a less temperate personality.

The incident mentioned was a member of the Moal's berating a participant about his vehicle. The vehicle in question was a Mopar Product in the Mopar Class and that should have been good enough. The vehicle was a potential 3rd or 4th place car and in a 5 or 6 car class it should have been just that. The owner was questioned in such a way, that it seemed like an example of a 21st Century Spanish Inquisition about the fact that the vehicle was a Road Runner Clone and needed to be labeled as such. The attitude of the Volunteer Showed a disregard for decorum or the feelings of the participant. The participant was virtually forced to change his placard which could be compared to being forced to drop your pants in front of a large crowd.

This could have been handled better and should have been, but I will not hold it against the Moal's or its leadership. It only showed that one member had the people skills found in Kindergarten Class. It should also be noted that the Member of Moal in Question, was also an entrant with a Mopar Product in the Mopar Class.

A Good Day all in all.
