Dave being the true "Car Guy" that he is, he's also got a large side of humility. He's not one to share this news, but
I hear that his '62 took home the trophy for 'Custom Compact' at the GNRS
Congratulations Dave!
Steve

Yes a GNRS S/C award did they give you a pickle dish?  Wink
Dave any other car show acolades will pale in comparision now, congrats on the award.
Can we see a photo of what the award looks like?

Last time I saw you at a car show you won that one too.
It was your Notchback at SCS Showdown 1988.  Cheesy 

Nice photos Sarge.

Mike, you must be a good luck charm............as that was the last time I had a car entered in a show!  The truth is that I didn't know the car was entered.......it was Sunday night and I'm packing up my stuff to go when an older gentleman comes by and says congratulations on your award!  I told him it wasn't entered in the show, that the gassers were just for display, but he said that he saw a picture of the car on the big screen at the awards ceremony.  Well, I walked over and sure enough, it did.  Must have been the only car in the class!

If any of you get a chance, maybe post on the Hot Rod blog in support of the gassers/VWs so that there will be space for them next year.  My understanding is that the building we were in is going to be converted to offices soon, so the gassers will need to find a new home at the Fairplex, if indeed there is enough support to bring them back.  As much as I liked the show cars and Bonneville exhibit, the gasser building really made the show for me.  I really wish you all could have been there to hear them rumbling in and out of the building!  We should have brought a Christmas Tree and paired them off at the dragstrip by the parking lot.  I would have put money on the Lightning Bug.......................

....as that (1988) was the last time I'd had a car entered in a show! 

I cant even say that, now I think I like you more.  Wink
You certainly deserve the S/C driver Congeniality award too.  Cool
Good to see you!

All is good, and the judge coordinator who was injured is on the mend, thank goodness.
