    This is a timely thread. I was just at the CVG carshow in New Albany, OH. I noticed that the awards classes were not equitable. Examples:

    Cars had
    Best of '50, '60, '70
    Best Camaro
    Best Mustang
    Best Chevrolet
    Best Lambo
    Best Ferrari
    People's Choice Award

    Not equitable as there was a very nice Cougar, it could have won best of '70 or people's choice award, but there was not a best Mercury...

    Motorcycles had
    Best Custom
    Best Harley-Davidson
    Best Sport Bike
    People's Choice Award

    There was a nice little restored stock CB350 that could only have won the People's Choice award, which it did. If there was a Best H-D, why was there not a Best Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki etcetera.

    Also, I don't know how anyone won the people's choice awards as the people didn't get a vote sheet to submit.

    I learned a lot while paying attention to how the categories were stacked.

    I like how there is a best of Camaro but not a best of Firebird.

    To hell with Mustangs. Clearly these awards are based on quantity not quality. You always see a ton of mustangs and camaros at car shows, but how many GTOs do you see?

    Late model Mustangs don't belong at car shows unless it is something rare like a Bullitt or Cobra, you can see plenty at any Ford or used car lot.

    Pretty much every mustang doesn't belong
