Joseph,

Thanks for making one very important point!  This "SHOw" 
isn't just for pretty cars that arrive on trailers.  In fact 
we usually only have one or two cars come on or in a trailer 
(other than the race cars) and while they are always 
welcome, the vast majority of cars are just your daily 
drivers.  Well maintained ones usually, but not perfect by 
any means.  And there are always a few "war wagons" that 
have paint and body by "experience" and their owners have 
just as much fun.  Stock, custom, wild, mild.  WE like to 
see them all.

And for the track events, yes, we have quite a few high HP 
and modified suspension cars, but they run in one class, 
where stock cars run in another at Blackhawk.  Experienced 
driver or pure novice, we have a place for everyone.

And for the drags, that is just you and the track for all 
practical purposes, forget who is beside you, at least for 
the fun runs early in the day, and have fun.

Thanks again Joseph for seeing the important stuff!
