I've never won anything at a car show before, except for door prizes. I don't go to them as a competitor, but I enter the judged part of the show usually, and spend a while detailing my car for most of the shows I go to.
There is one show a few miles from my house every year, and it was today. It was a nice day, overcast this morning, but around 11, it cleared up and was about 85 and breezy. Nice day.
I spent a good while touching up and detailng, etc to go to this thing today. I guess it was my first show for this year, and since I built the engine back up. They make you enter by class at this one. They had separate classes for 'vettes, camaros, mustangs, t-birds, firebirds, etc. Everyone else had to enter into classes like 60-69, 70-79, etc, and in either the "stock" or "modified" class. I entered 70-79 stock. I wasn't sure which to pick.
Anyways, I got second place. Never got a trophy before today!!!

I was tickled to win, my buddy that has a '73 Mach 1 told me I had the biggest $hit-eating grin he's ever seen when they called my number. Oh, and first place in my class went to a cranberry red/black stripe 1970 LS5 454SS, original owner car.
For me, since I did this work myself, it really was cool.
