I went the past 2 years (in the widebody Tib) and won. It's a decent show, for those whom aren't going to the Chasing Classic cars, you should think about it!

Nice, i'm pretty sure my WRX blew its second engine right before the 1st show so I was driving a jeep and last year I was in the Oxford Green E34 540 Msport. This will be the first year I will have a properly hooked up running car at the show.
