I got over it before I even enterted the show. . .I enterted for fun.

Point being the line has to be extended and not put down in cemement for stockers. Right?

Another question for all. Doesn't matter the year or class. . .lets say you get a 69 modefied. . .but there are only two. Is it okay to move them to the class before or after theirs to compete with other cars in their modified years? Assuming the trophies don't say the years and of course doing it before the show begins.

I'm just saying some people go to great lengths to stay stock then get punished by losing because their car isn't as shiny or blingy as the modified ones. People don't realize how hard it is to make cars #'s matching and all that.
I was just giving you info from the car shows I have gone too. I've seen #'s matching ss chevelles and gt 350's lose to a modified 69 camaro. The people with the real stock cars tend to never come back and the word spreads and you'll end up with modded cars only. But enough stock ones may not exist so this could be all mute. The last show I was at they tried to adjust as the cars came(put you in a class but move you around depending on who shows) but it was all screwed up and everyone complained then.

Basically I'm just rambling so all in all set a guidline and stick to it. You run it and ignore the whiners. You'll have some no matter what.

Yes combining classes is all you can do when enough don't show but talking with the people that fall into those classes(that enough don't show) might help you bring more of that category in.

Ahh hell have fun. That's what it's all about.
