Super Chevy Indy

Maybe it's me but I think we are missing the point here. It's a car show....I am sure it's big bucks to put on a show so of course they pump up the sponsors...it's a business now too.Do the math...if they catered to only Supercars it would be a pretty small show.If there was no re-pop junk as it was called,there would only be a handful of complete cars if any!Are there any cars out there with NOS Yenko stripes ? If you do you're lucky. I'll bet most people don't care if the car has the right amount and correct color glue dripping off the weatherstripping in the correct place.They go to see the cars.It's not Pebble Beach...Just my opinion.

andrew,
just looked at my englishtown raceway calendar of events.its slowly turning into import/lowrider based shows.ive been to the super chevy shows at englishtown and have even won editors choice but they placed my biscayne in the street class because of the motion modifications.not good.they were not receptive in creating a dealer modified class even though there were quite a few of them in the show.judging is not important to me but grouping our cars together instead of body style is a step in the right direction.

When we attended the SC show in Memphis right after we got our Camaro together ('97), they placed us in the "Conversion" class...the same class as the '94-6 Impalas, the then "new" SS Camaros, and Choo Choo Conversion trucks. There was another COPO Camaro there, and some real nice Chevelles, but none of them returned the next year.

Well I have to admit....the Choo Choo truck IS going a bit too far ! Maybe someone needs to have a talk with these folks to help them get back to their roots. What the hell is a Choo Choo truck anyway ?

"Choo Choo Customs" ( http://www.choochoocustoms.com/ ) was BIG into doig truck, van, and El Camino conversions, and also sell parts like spoilers, bed caps, running boards, etc. They used to have an ad towards the back of Super Chevy...it was really small, you had to look real close to see it.

Please tell me you at least won your class !If not I'm going to make a low-rider out of my car and sell it to Charley.

Yes, we did win our class, conversion, but was told by the staff that our 1969 Yenko Camaro was not eligible for "Best Camaro", as our car was a Yenko, NOT a Camaro! Tom
P.S. I have not been to another SC event.
