Oh Yeah Mike,
I have seen that several times over.  I once had to slip out the  side door 
of the Hotel after the awards presentation at a National to avoid  an owner 
when people were saying to me  "He is pissed and looking for  you".  His freshly 
restored car did not win 1st and he wasn't going to  stand for that. All I can 
remember since I didn't personally judge his  car is that he had those shinny 
fender bolts and a bunch of other little  stuff goofed up. 
He was a big Dude too so in order to possibly avoid the pain of death I  
split to let him cool down a bit.  I tried to talk to him later but he  would have 
none of it.  Saw him one more time at another club's  National.  The car was 
the same and he was not 1st once again,  but this time I had nothing to do 
with it.

Those are the people who eventually leave the hobby or show their  cars at 
non-single-marque local shows. 
The problem is they spoil the show for others. people like winners, but  they 
also respect (and remember) gracious losers. I have a friend who now  enters 
car shows with his car "For Display Only". he was just  psychologically 
incapable of dealing graciously with not winning but still  wanted to participate.
