October 9, 201115 yr Well...... What a nice day.... On a whim, I went to a local car show with friends, and beyond all my expectations...... My pride and joy won Best In Show!!!!! I do not consider myself a "trophy hound", I prefer hanging at just the everyday cruise nights, or going to the track a couple times a year..... but I must say, I am quite humbled by this...... I even left before all the trophies were given out.... never thinking I had won anything..... One of my friends that stayed longer is bringing me my Trophy tomorrow...lol
October 9, 201115 yr Congrats on the win. Where was the show? Same thing happened with my '67 last weekend. It won "best modified" and there was many cars there that should have won instead of mine. And I much prefer driving, racing, or just plain beating the hell out of mine than just parking it somewhere.
October 9, 201115 yr That's awesome! I'm sure you're feeling great.. At least post some pics of the car!
October 9, 201115 yr Very cool, I'll have to tell the story of my OL getting entered into a car show by accident one day. Harry

October 9, 201115 yr Author What size tires front and rear? 235's on the front and on 275/50's on the back? 235/60r15 Front 245/60r15 Rear The 15x8 rims on rear give it a great profile on the tire.....
October 9, 201115 yr Author Yea it sure does, they look nice on there. Why no 275/60's on the back? Never imagined they would have fit.... but in reality, they might..... plus with 3.36 gears, dont want to reduce my effective rear ratio too much more....
October 10, 201115 yr Good point about the gears. I cant see the GTO's having smaller wheelwells than my Chevelle though. Just had to roll the fenderlip and 275/60's fit on mine with no rubbing even with 2 people in the back seat. edit: your rpms @65 mph would drop about 150rpm
October 10, 201115 yr Congrats! It is always a thrill when that happens. My club went to two car shows this weekend and on Saturday we won two "Best in Class" trophies. I won one for "Best Specialty Vehicle" ? I was stunned. My car is probably the least modified/spiffed up in the club? It was a participant judged show so somebody liked it? btw, your GTO looks awesome!
