<< Any car not driven to an event should be in a class by itself. It's totaly
unfair to have them judged along with those who......
1: Have engines that start and propel the car...
2: Have brakes to stop them........
3: Are enjoyed and driven by the owners.....
Anyone can simply spend the $$$$$$ get a total restoration, keep a car in a
heated garage and bring it to an event in a covered transport......these are
not enthusiasts, these are speculators looking to sell and make a buck...you
see these cars at auctions all the time, the owners tell you how many bogus
awards the car has won and sadly someone will overpay for it.

Yeah-but . . . like I said, it's not all that cut and dry.
All of my cars qualify per #1, #2, and #3.
I have not and will not, EVER spend $$$$$ for a total restoration. My garage is not heated, and my trailer is not covered. Matter of fact, if you took two equally clean cars, put one on my trailer, hitched it to my 1979 260,000-mile Jeep Cherokee, and draged it a thousand miles, then drove the other the same thousand miles, guess which one would arrive cleaner? . . . Hint: It would NOT BE the "trailer queen" . . .
AND . . . one look at the mess in my driveway, out back, alongside the house, on top of, under and all around the pool table in the "family room" will tell you that I am NOT a speculator looking to make a buck. Sheeit, Curt, I give more stuff away than I ever sell. And the last car I ever sold was the '59 four-door, six-cylinder, two-speed powerless-slide, piece o' shit Chevy Impala that Theresia had when we got married. And DAMN I sometimes miss that car!!!
So you'll just have to pardon me if I get a little bit bent about being tossed in with with the $$$$$$ restoration folks, who have the $$$$$$ trailers, and the $$$$$$ tow vehicles.
I think when you go making rules about people who trailer their cars to events, you are oversimplifying the situation just a whole-great-big-ol' bunch.
