I must admit, sitting in a lawn chair at a car show leaves alot
to be desired. My first couple I cleaned and waxed ![]() then I polished and buffed ![]() And i didn't win diddly ****...anwsered a bunch of moronic questions got hot and miserable, and swore i'd never do another. THEN...i attended a show, where, the enthusiast's KNEW what a ZR1 was all about, they took pic's ![]() asked the right type of questions, and the birds started to sing, ![]() the sun came out, and i won 1st place in the C4 category. some days, it's good to be the king. ![]() Last edited by GrayZ; 12-11-2008 at 05:16 AM. |

Count me in as not a show fan. Even huge ones like Carlisle, after about an hour I am getting all ancy and just want to gtf out of there. The only part I enjoy is meeting up with other Z owners, but I'd much rather meet up with them at a drag strip or something where the cars will be moving.

I hear you Bob. I've never had more fun with my car than at the VIR HPDE this year. A lot of people came up to see the car there. Of course, it was almost the oldest car there and on the track too!

I have a blast at carlisle but I admit I spend most of my time over in the parts section and in the forsale section, plus the bullshiting and walking around is fun. Im not there for the show I have driven up there twice and both times I dont even think I washed the car to tell the truth paint all faded and busted up haha not a show car at all ![]()

JT,
Its the younger kids, even ricers, that have a respect for our cars. I recently took my Z06 wheels to a tire shop for disposal. Wheels were wrecked. The kid there asked what car they came off of and I said my ZR-1. He extended his hand to shake mine. I told him that it was a 92, and he said "It doesn't matter what year it is, its a ZR-1". Cool. ![]() |
