ChevyAsylum,
You hit the nail on the head! Around here they don't judge at shows. It's "I'll vote for you if you vote for me". I gave up going to shows. I just go to ones where I know I'll have a good time and meet some good people. Let the trophy hunters have thier popularity contests. On the other hand, to Oldno3fan, congrats on the win. Looks like you deserved it. Does do the ego a little good to go home with some well deserved hardware.
