Default Car show etiquette question

I bought a 2010 GT last fall and would like to take it to a couple of car shows this summer. There's one this weekend that describes classic cars and sports cars (i.e. not Mustang specific)

Is it generally frowned upon to take a car such as mine to a show since it is A) not yet a classic and B) not a Roush, GT500, or other specialty make? I'm proud of the car and enjoy seeing just about any year Mustangs at car shows, but am just curious what the consensus is.

I doubt you'll get a "consensus" on you your question. I'm sure some promoters/promotion groups/clubs wouldn't mind having a late model car in their "classic car" show. I'm equally sure there are quite a few who would mind.

Is their someone you could ask before the show?

Is there a class for your car? If so, there shouldn't be a problem. Usually if they mind, they exclude what they don't want in regards to a class. If you're still unsure, there should be contact information for the show. So use that and find out.

Take it! you earned the money to buy it, show it off. If people don't like it, they can find a different show.
