I entered a car show with the 390 CS about a month ago. Got there all bright and early and then left to go to the gun range for a couple of hours. I cleaned my car throughly as I always do, setup my displays and throphys in front of the car. Talked to some of the organizers (I was a sponsor of the show as well). I looked around at the competion in my class 67-70 restored division (all makes and models). There were at least 15-20 in my class considering it was all makes and models. I figured I would get in the top 3.
Well, we came back to the show and about a hour later they had the awards. Got to my class and did not get called for any place. I was somewhat disappointed since I looked over the competition and when I do this I am realistic on my chances. My mechanic was with me and we both could not figure out why it did not place. I had considered calling them to make sure it was judged. I figured this was not the right thing to do.
I came in my office after lunch and there was a package on my desk with a second place plaque in it. They said they had some data entry errors and were very sorry.
All in all this makes me feel a little better about how local shows are judged. This was the first show where the CS did not get 1st or 2nd but it did actually get 2nd. Some of my other cars have placed very well then they don't place at all the next weekend, go figure.
