We arrived at the Reno show on Friday afternoon and placed the cars on the show field. Figuring we had until noon on Saturday to get the cars detailed to the nth degree, I told the girls if they wanted to go shopping, go for it. They left and Ron Moore and I went to get some lunch. While having lunch, National Asst. Head Judge Johnie Garner contacted me and asked if our Concours GT/CS was ready to be judged as he and Marty Rupp were trying to get a jump on judging some of the cars.
Well, the car was pretty much ready to judge, but I needed to do some final detailing on the car. I looked at Ron and he offered to help me do some last minute prep, so I said “Sure”. We scrambled to finish lunch and only had 20 minutes to prep the car before the judges arrived. I needed to swap out the Battery as the Autolite battery died just before we left for the show, and I mean Died, RIP. I needed four hands to install it without damaging anything, and Ron was there to help. We made it with nothing to spare and presented the car “As is, Where is”. Both judges went over the car with a fine tooth comb, and ignored the never ending dust that kept landing on the car that the wind and high desert kept throwing at it.
We won the Gold Award in the Concours Trailered Class this weekend, and if it had not been for Ron Moore, I truly feel I would not have made it before the judges arrived. Thank you Ron for all your help prepping the car, it truly made a difference. Sorry I missed visiting with you the rest of the weekend.
