[QUOTE="jcthorne, post: 11755505, member: 41108"] My advise, forget all the 'car show trinkets' dont bring books, previous trophies, photos (unless you built the car from a heap) or other 'display stuff' folks are there to see the cars, not your crap. bring a chair and a small cooler of drinks, detail towels and some detail spray. Thats about it. Have fun, talk with folks and enjoy the day. If you get an award fine but in a year or two you will be filling a dumpster with plastic car show trophies. Who cares, every show gives out so many that they are mostly meaningless to anyone but you as a memento of the day. After showing cars for better than 20 years, the only awards I keep more than a year are really special ones like 'best of show' and 'peoples choice'. Its hard to hold a line on folks touching the car. If you cant stand to see someone touch the paint, don't go. On the other hand folks will get out of line. Leaning, opening doors or moving ANYTHING are out of bounds and needs to be corrected. That said, I let far more go than I should. Folks tell me all the time I should speak up. Im not a good a$$h01e. If someone asks to sit in the car, I will usually let them, even snap a photo for them. But they should NOT assume. [/QUOTE]
