This same thing happened at another show, the kit car big Healey beat
out 3 of the real Healeys, one of which was perfect. >>

I agree with what you are saying, Frank. But I don't think the replicars
should have been in the same class as the original cars for judging at the
concours. Put all the replicars in the same class. (Building a replicar
seems like cheating to me!)
Since my Midget is just being resuscitated, I am looking forward to a few
shows, but after that, I think I will quickly get bored with the show scene.
As good as the cars were at Moss last Saturday, I couldn't bring myself to
stay for more than two hours. There's only so much you can see and talk
about. I could probably spend more time at a large autojumble than looking
at the cars.
I'd rather be drivin'!
