Went to the Bettenhausen annual car show in Tinley Park yesterday. Great time, great people, and great host. No cost to enter and they covered the event and all the awards. Not as big of a turn out as usual due to the scarey looking clouds, but not one drop of rain and I still got sunburned. Only 5 cars in my 80's class. Two ratty 1985 El Caminos, one 1987 plain Camero Z28, and a 1989 Dodge Daytona, which won best in class. They gave out 4 awards to our class....guess which car didn't get one.... No RESPECT I tell ya.... :aggressive:Good thing I love my car. Tons of compliments and questions all day, I guess they just didn't care to vote for it.
Here are pics of the two of the 5 80's cars. I didn't even take pics of the el caminos or the dodge daytona, if that tells you what I thought of them. There are many more pics in the slide show link below.
You be the Judge.
More Lambo Doors inside. I should have brought my Vette and we would of had three there. Don't see to many of them. Lots of nice and unique cars though, some really cool Mopars...always at this show. I really loved the lowered Black Lincoln Continental, the Blue GTO, the Blue Studebaker, and the Buick GS and Chevelle. I followed the C6 Corvette Z06 with the 427 home on I-80. He hit a opening in traffic and tried to get away from me and I stayed right with him up to 100 before he slowed down. That was the best part of the day for me.

Sorry you didn't get a trophy and car shows are much about how many friends you have at the show then how the car shows themselves. Car looks awesome and looking forward to seeing it sometime this summer.
