Talking Could I Win A Show?

do you guys think i would have chance of winning any shows in the general honda or if they are specific, the honda mild categories? im thinkin it would be mainly the honda mild class if they have that, do you think i would have a chance at placing 1st-3rd in that class? im not sure if i should start spending $20-50 on these shows if im not gonna win anything. thanks for the input.

It depends on how big your import scene is in your area. I always win in my town, but you see how small the scene is. My car wouldn't last 2 seconds out west. In Ohio, you might have a chance. You never know until you try.

Just go for it and see what happens. Worst that happens is that you don't win and you find out exactly what you need to win...

ok. i will probally give it a try at some shows this year and see how i do then.

btw, this show/drag event i am about to register for wants me to include my insurance company and policy number in the registration, is this a bad thing and does it mean they are going to tell my insurance company that i went drag racing at this show??

Isn't that like a waiver in a way? So that if you wreck you can't claim it.

i think you would do okay, but if you're serious i think you should get a new paint job next.

You should do okay if the scene is what I'd expect for a midwest non-large city show.

Got ice?

I have just a CD player, no ICE. I don't pop my trunk because it's stripped (I can show off the CF trunk anyways)

Always pop your hood even if you only have an intake. EVERYTHING is taken into account at a car show. Even the fine details. I also like to be there when the judge comes by so that I can point out anything special like my EDM tails, etc...
