I’m lovin it..
No, some lady owned it. I didn’t win anything, Tim won the autographed packer football in the raffle. That Custom 65 Impala with the multi color paint was second, and a white 57 Pontiac convertible took third.

Hmmm and because I don’t want to participant vote I’m lazy..Guess I should just just put a lift kit and some wheels on my truck and head out to all the shows..But only if I know I’m going to win.

You say you go to be with friends, is that so you can get there votes at these particapant judged shows. I don`t need to cheat or lie to win awards, my truck does pretty good on it`s own. I`ve won at 12 out of 15 shows i`ve been in this year, can you say that for your car? Yes i do call organizers about there shows and i do pick shows where i feel i have a good chance of winning, thats how i play the game.Yes it is all about the mighty trophy and i`m a big enough man to admit it.I also enjoy meeting up with old friends and making new ones, that is my perk when attending shows but my priority is getting my truck ready and taking home some good memories and the best award i can.Most but not all that say other wise are full of crap.Yes, I did put my hometown as Belleville just to test my theory one time, and it worked. Wow 15 shows thats a lot of $10….I’ve been to five shows and have two trophies. But I don’t think the Dells show and Back to the fifties count. So I’m two out of three. But then my car is 72 years old also, and I have to compete with my friends car that is $150k street rod. If my friends vote for my car that is their choice. But that does not stop me from going, I do not like participant judged shows because I just don’t like to walk around and vote, so I usually don’t.

It is more inportant for me to use ten dollars to feed my family than to waste it on something like this show. And don`t tell me you never expect to win at car shows, i hear this all the time at shows and those that say this are the biggest cry babies when they don`t win.All i`ve ever asked from any show is be fair and if i lose to a better ride so be it but if i lose to someone because he is sleeping with the judges sister or mother or gets the good ol boy vote then ya i get a little pissed off. If you win its probably because you have a club or friends throwing votes your way. Don`t jump on my ass because i decide for whatever reason not to attend a show.This is the point where I’m ROFLMAO. I attend the shows because my friends go and I want to be with them on the weekends, if I win I’m happy. I don’t call the shows contact people during the week just to see if there is a class for my car. From the posts I’ve read you seem to travel far and wide to attend shows. It has to cost you a hell of a lot more to drive your truck to them then 10 bucks. To me it seems like it is all about the almighty trophy. By the way I have won a trophy in Belleville, you just have to figure out how to play the game in small towns…
Wow, I guess I’d stay home then. If your worried about 10 bucks.
I never expect to win at car shows, it is a bonus if I do.
I’ve been to Belleville show before, it is a nice location and a fun show
to meet and hang with friends.Wow, that is so sad that Madison is losing another employer…I sure hope something happens to turn this downfall around.
Nope, I always wanted to learn to play the guitar. However I do sing in the church choir, and I have tried my hand as a thespian. I was in Fiddler on the roof at our local civic theater once.

I was thinking about the Big Cat show in the Dells. However the awards are not until 5pm, and I’d kinda like to get home a little earlier. Hope I don’t get drug under the bus for that comment..:unsure:
