Since Tony won't tell the whole story on getting his reward, I will tell it with Pictures.
1. I think the Judges were attracted to the Blue Chevelle but since the owner wasn't there they picked Tony's 34 (That is my theory).
2. He then had Kathy Clean the underside of it as soon as they put the sticker on the headlight, she was there past Midnight cleaning and more cleaning
3. This is Tony and Kathy coming around to the Judge's area
4. Tony waving to the crowd
5. Some nice old lady wanted his Autogragh and he told her is was going to cost her $5 so she had to dig in the bottom of her purse for the money. (Notice the Body Guards he hired after he Won)
Now you know the whole story as I seen it live and without the influnce of Alcohol.
