I agree Tipp City is the only reason I can make it through the weekend. I have won every year and I can say that the judging is off in alot of classes. My dad's SOM Firehawk have been there 3 years and never looked any different but got a third place last. He all ways looses to a red Firehawk with yellow crap all over it.
HaHa I know that guy.. Its my neighbors twin brothers car. I used to go over and drool over that car then he did all the yellow crap and I was like WHY?!?!?!

I will be there this year as well, and in the winners circle. It was a real shock to win last year after not even placing for years.
Wade, your dad's car is a beautiful car. Its a shame he's getting rid of it.
The judging is always subjective and different every year. I think the mileage on the top 3 cars helped last year.
I'm going to attend the judjing seminar this year to see what they look for.

Looks like the weather should be pretty good in Dayton now on MSN weather. 73°F is perfect. I'll see some of you tomorrow. I'll take some pics of your cars.

I took several pictures of your car. Its looks really good. Seems you added some new things from last year? There was a lot of cars this year and it seems to be very nice at the new hotel. I have Nitrous on my car now and would have to remove it because they would put me in the Super Street class "N" with it. That class would be very hard to place in. I'll post some pics of some I took later.

I agree. I purposly found a car wash that had the raincheck thing because i figured it would rain friday evening and sure enough it did. i'm glad i didn't have to keep frantically drying my car off like some people did. i simply drove it back to the car wash saturday morning and had it washed again, lol.

I was totally shocked when they called my car number for second place in modifed. The car that won first was really nice and low miles and i was sure he was going to take first, but between the other 4 or 5 ars in the class i figured it was a tossup for second, i was really suprised. they didn't do a 3rd because there were only 5 or 6.

I have almost 400 photos that i will upload when i get home this afternoon. I hope everyone had a great time I agree about the new location. i like the fact you don't have to walk nearly as far to see all the cars and that no one got stuck parking on the grass. I wasn't on the grass last year but i did see quite a few classes that were
