Ray-
I agree, popular vote often translates into popular
owner vote or popular club member vote, and has little
to do with popular car vote.
To be perfectly honest, I used to get irritated when a
professionally restored car won an award in my class.
After I finally won a few awards, I found that I
had alot more fun talking to people than worrying
about winning awards. I now show my B with the hood
open along with a big stack of DIY photos and
receipts.
I may not have many silver cups for my car.
But the ones I do have, were earned for *my*
hard work, and not for someone else's.
