An interesting conversation, because I have always told Ken that people do not come for the competition, and awards. I hope this thread continues and we hear from more people on it. I believe people come for the people! The cars too, but more so we can look what other people have done to their cars for internal comparison, and to even copy (the best form of flattering) ideas. I have boxes of trophies and plaques for my cars. Some even on display to take up shelf space in my bedroom. But, the reality is, they don't hold any value compared to the memories and experience of going to the shows. Ken took my advice on the change in layout for Gettysburg. Moving the vendors, and museum in to the conference rooms in the hotel will give us a lot more space in the convention center for CARS. It is my hope that we can fit all of them inside. Ken does have to cover the cost's of the show, so I'd encourage everyone to "enter" you car in the competition even if you (like me, and Bill) don't care much about the judging. It supports the show, and gets the cars inside. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better sports nut!
