Re: Dixie Rodders Car Show

[Ollie <satellite1965@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with that...would like to see classes divided out more even at 
participant judged shows.
Tell you an interesting story Dodger..I was involved in a local car show in 
New Hebron, MS last summer. Money to go to the volunteer FD. We needed to 
get cars there so we contacted a big club that is 55-57 chevys. Big club and 
big money.
Participant judged. As our wife's were counting the ballots they noticed 
that some cars had more votes than registered cars. Later we looked at the 
sheets and numbers were written down a few times. The Chevy's won most 
awards. Interesting to see what extremes people go to.
It sure is alot of work putting on such an event, getting sponsors, awards, 
passing out flyers at other shows, etc. We had 89 cars and we were quite 
satisfied. FD got some of equipment they needed so it was good. I learned 
alot too...thats always good

Well put Ollie,,,,,the only thing that I might add is I would like to see
class changes, and that would be if it is not stock, ie original bolt on
type  parts, it is altered, and all makes should then go into the same
class.......jm2cw

Ollie's Car Show Ramblings...
I have been reading  everyone's car show rants and rumblings so it is time
for me to insert my 2  cents, tho it may increase to 4 cents before I am
finished.
I am more  interested in the venue of a show and the fellowship with
participants and  fans. I do not attend every show in my area but the ones 
that
have more to  offer. Last weekend the Dixie Rodders held there 8th annual 
show
and as always  it was a good one. Ran from Thursday thru Sunday. We arrived
Friday AM, that  evening there was a BBQ, DJ music and a street dance.
Saturday continued with  the show, alot of games and peddle car races for 
the
kids, Randy Wilson,  Ambassador of Cultural Affairs, adding his funny
comments, jokes and music  kept everyone hopping. It was worth the trip just 
to
watch the peddle car  races and the kids receive there trophies. Saturday
evening a live band and  street dance. Sunday morning church service and 
awards.
This show was  judged, as most in our area, by participant judging. This is
always a hit and  miss affair, you vote for the cars U like, always wanted,
your buddies, wish I  had that one, Mustang nuts vote for Mustangs, same
for Mopar, and the Camero  freaks all drool over Cameros, etc.
If you go to a car show to have your  vehicle judged on its own merits, you
will not be attending many. If you go to  a mixed show with your Mopar and
it is not a Challenger or winged warrior,  don't expect to win. When u are
looking at the pre-49 class, you will only see  SBC drive trains, nothing
original, Dakota Digital dashes, etc. The best color  schemes and interiors
will win. Move on to your triple 5 Chevys.....you might  see 1 refreshing
original..no 265 or 283's, SBC's and LS1's rule. That is the  way it is. 
Trucks
may tend to be a bit more original in the drive trains  unless u move on to
the tweaked out ones then you never know what to expect.  Just interesting 
to
see what they have come up with!
New additions to car  shows here lately are the new cars. Wow...so exciting
to see the new 2010  Mustang win...was he honored for buying the thing? Or
was it a tribute to  Ford? Guess we must ask our fellow voters???
Rambling on to my favorite  class...Ratrods...now we are talking something
original here. SBC drive trains  are common but do not rule. This is going
to be my next endover after my Petty  Stock Car Project. You can all rest
assured it will be a combo of  vehicles...but will be Mopar powered, slant 
six
is what I have in mind.
Ollie attends a car show...I like to be a rare, not normally seen vehicle,
my Satellite. Even at Mopar only car shows I have never seen another 65
Satellite. I go to have a good time, meet with friends, enjoy the one Mopar
nut that will talk your leg off. Hey..to bring home a solid gold trophy is a
plus (lets hope it does not have a 57 Chevy on top), wall plaque, even
better,  easy to hang on the shop wall.  Its nice, but not necessary to me.
So lets all calm down and take car shows for what they should be...just a
fun event, fun for a kids, good fellowship and a great way to pass a good
time. Please take a kid to a car show...they need something more interesting
than drugs.
