Default First car show with the Cobra...

Took 3rd place. The class was kinda weird. It was like 95-2008 shelby/gt500/cobras. A shelby gt won first, an 07 super snake got second. I really dont understand the category or the judging but i had a good time. Great turn out.

Congrats! I hate going to a judged show seeing bone stock S197's winning awards. I just don't fell that anyone that doesn't do any modding to there car should win anything. I'm not saying I don't like the cars just give awards to people that put blood,sweat and tears into there car.

Congrats on your win. BRAMAS I do not agree with your opinion only modded cars should win. Maybe this is true for cars not long of the showroom floor. It is nice to see older cars say 80s fox bodies that are super clean and not modded to hell or at all. Lets not forget about the 60s & 70s cars. Most people who own and show these cars have more blood sweat and tears into there cars restoring them to stock then we have just bolting on mods. For me it is all in the detail. I do not like going to car shows and seeing people showing cars that paint is pealing off in various places. And when they show under the hood the engine compartment looks like it went to hell and back. I do not think these cars should be shown. But I guess we all have our opinions when it comes to car shows and what we like.
