It seems to me that it would be hard to judge a row of new or newer cars.


These are Fun Field cars. No judging. The old cars are the ones being judged but not very many of those these days at the Nats. Hence why I would agree that the newer stuff has been carrying this show for a while. [/qu

They may be in the fun field at the Nats but a some local shows I've been too they are in with the judged cars in a class for late mdl stuff. That's fine with me,I just think it would be hard to judge a class with all new cars or nearly new cars.


That mix of new/old cars has been going on around here at local shows for years. Back when the Vipers first came out A fella here local was taking his to car shows and entering in Mopar Muscle classes. I haven't shown for years but I had my original 1970 6 barrel Roadrunner in a show with his Viper and the judges did wonder what to do about that at first. They decided I would win the class that day and the Viper guy was basically outraged. Got all over the poor judges about it. Burned the hides on that Viper and almost wrecked it leaving the show. Pretty comical. This was back in the early 90's, I believe.
