I never could understand why some people take these shows so 
seriously........entrant's choice balloting typically means that at least 
75% of the people voting for a car in each class have no clue as to what 
they are looking at.  Yet some people get all bent out of shape if their car 
doesn't "win".   Reminds me of a good (true) story:
Several years ago, at a fairly large show, I was involved in counting 
ballots to determine class winners.  In one class, there was one outstanding 
car and a couple of, well, not very outstanding cars.  While compiling the 
list of winners, after the votes were tallied, one of our club members asked 
who had gotten the most votes for this class.  After being told it was the 
"outstanding" car, my friend said "We can't award first place to that guy." 
"Why not?" I asked.  Answer: "Because he's an asshole."  Several other club 
members, who also knew the owner of the outstanding car echoed the same 
opinion.
On that day, a new club tradition was started: We don't knowingly award 
first prize, in any of our car show classes, to assholes.
