You guys should order "AlleyCat Events Secrets". I followed them to a "t".

Rule one: Send the sublimal "think red" tape to all the judges for the event - one week ahead of time.

Rule two: Carry six or seven bags of "extra" pollen(during Spring events) - all the "other" Kats appear to be yellow.

Rule three: Take the "other" registration forms to the event - Class A (1930-39)forms for the other guys in the group to fill out.

Rule four: Call in a few favors...have the vendor hold up important parts for friends that are coming to the show.

Rule five: Stick a $20 bill in the pocket of all the judges,,,and be sure to write down your event # on the bill. Works for me, lol

It is best to look to see what other cars are there. If you want to go home a winner pick the class with the least cars that your car will fit in. Also before going to a show look to see who is sponsoring the event. i don't do will in show put on by Mustang/Camaro clubs & street rods. I did get a BLUE RIBBON at the Indiana State Fair with the show being organized by the Circle City Corvette Club

I do not go to a show to WIN. I go for the fun. Before I got the Prowler I took my `67 Dodge Coronet convertible. It had about 100,000 miles and still had the original paint & interior. People wanted to know why I didn't get it painted. Well it can only be ORIGINAL ONCE.

This picture was taken in May of 98 just a month before I sold it to buy the Prowler.

No I never WON with it but i had fun going.

The Prowler I have WON alot, but I don't always win, but I most always have Fun with it.

I took the Imperial to a show and as I pulled in to register they ask me what class I wanted to put it in, I told them I didn't care. Well this one lady said put it in Mopar class, and told me "YOU HAVE A WINNER", come to find out she was one of the judges and I got 1st place in the class.

I usually let the show organizers pick where they want me. I always try to get there early so that they will park me in the best spot!

I have had a lot of fun attending and showing, and have been pretty successful. The Kat always draws a crowd and no one likes to talk about their car more than I do!

The category usually varies from an actual Prowler class, to Special Interest, 1990 and newer, etc. We go primarily to have fun and see our buds. But to be honest picking up a throphy here and there isn't bad either. Last week we took first in the Prowler class and also won the 50/50 drawing. I never go expecting to win but on the other hand we never would show up with our Kat anything but show ready either. Probably our most prized award is from Mopars at the Battleship in Mobile AL where we took best in show 1970 and newer. To show you that we never expected it we left the show and went to dinner at nearby resturant. One of the show officials tracked us down and gave us the award. We were floored.

In the scheme of things, many vehicle owners have scraped by for years to get their cars in show condition. I'd rather take the "High Road" than compete against them (unfairly).
