A Report From...

To whom it may concern,

I attended your show this Sunday for the second time in a few years. Only I had my ' 68 Mustang this time. I thought it was for the most part a good day. Only I have a couple of tiffs to point out.

The Chicken dinner was not the greatest. The chicken was dry,the potatoes in the salad were not cooked enough, they were tuff. I didn't feel it was worth the $10.00. You should also offer a little more for food choices. Since not everyone really wanted or like chicken and had to go across the street to the store.

The biggest beef I had, along with a lot of others I spoke with, did not think Judging of Vehicles was fair. There were a few cars that got first place that did not in a true Judged show deserve it. In a JUDGED Show there is a 100 point score system. Broke down it goes 25 % Engine, which means the Hood MUST be Open, 25% Trunk, Which the Lid Should be also OPEN, 25% paint and last Over all 25% Cleanliness. So how could a car that does NOT have it's Hood or trunk Lid OPEN win 1st place. Or a car that has a Dirty engine or a shoddy paint job, win first? The only thing people could come up with for a reasonable explanation was the old saying in the car show circuit is " The GOOD OLD BOY NETWORK" If your "JUDGES" can't judge fairly, according to the proper judge system, then you will lose a lot of participation. In fact the majority of the people I spoke with will not return next year because of it. If you want a good fair show than lose the judging and turn it to Participation SPLIT ballot show.

The other beef I heard through out the day, was that the only ones to get a goody bags were the preregistered people, The ones that did not, did not get a thing to commemorated the day. You should offer either ribbons or dash plagues for those that do not preregister, something is better than nothing.

Sincerely, Connie Peacock
