Default Won a Best of Show at Charlotte Autofair

Well, this was my first show since moving to Charlotte from Chicago and it was an incredible show. The entire infield of Lowe's Motor Speedway was full with show cars, car corral and vendors.
Here's a pic of me w/my best of show trophy. I was really happy to win this.
Here are some other Autofair pics of Charlotte Fbody club cars.

Well, let me clarify how the awards go at this show. I did not beat out all 3,000 other cars. They give out several "best of show" awards. If you've seen my car in person I'm not sure you would call it "fairly stock," but then again everyone's opinion is different. At the Joliet Super Chevy show last year I was class winner in the Street class which you don't see many fairly stock cars do. My car is about taseful, sometimes subtle improvements and custom touches and keeping it VERY clean.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. I met a lot of great people at that show which is what I enjoy most about shows. Winning an award is just an unexpected bonus for me.

I will try and post up a few more pics when I get home tonight but I typically shoot film not digital so I'm not as timely with my pic posting.

I wasn't trying to doubt that your car is clean because I'm sure it is. Just wondering and I guess a little jealouse that I've never gotten anything. But in the shows around me (GoodGuys shows), you have to kiss the judges asses in order for them to even look at your car. Shoot my uncle's 69 that won best 1st gen Camaro in the So-Cal Super Chevy show last year, the judges at GoodGuys didn't even look at it.
