yea car shows never go as you expect you do a car show to basically hang out bs and winning is a plus but dont go in expecting to win. Personal taste many times conflicts with judges, what you think its good looking might be hidious to another. The judges at the show might not have been for the import look on a domestic car etc. Remember your not just getting judged on any 1 things its a combo, you get scored on paint, interior, engine, etc. As far as stock cars being in your class tech that should be an advantage you have more done in the class.
