Don't miss it. Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals.

[440 PHIXX]

Sad that these cars have just become something you see once or maybe twice a year… rolled off a trailer, and into a spot to just sit. Boring.

To each his own respectfully, but this black cat loiters and disrupts the mean streets of New York every chance that I can get.
Imagine if like the old days of Indoor Drag Racing that by coincidence, happened in Chicago, would be introduced to this show. 100' foot drags, exhaust fume removal filtering systems, barriers etc. It would be bananas to say the least.

Yes, bring the noise of the cars of loud and proud people.
In fact, there were huge coffee table books on the subject of Indoor Drag Racing in Chicago that were on sale right beside my booth. 100 limited edition copies, signed and numbered by Gene Devening and Howard Crull.. I chose copy #99 for some reason and perhaps because it's the closest to A990.

I’m not aware of a list of winners on MCACNs website, though it’s not something I’ve dug around it looking for.
Even hearing the awards presentation Sunday, it’s not very clear who won what, unless you know the name of an order.
The announcement will be something like- here are the OE Gold winners, Bob Johnson for a 71 Corvette, Al Jones for a 65 Pontiac, John Smith for a 70 cuda, etc. So unless you know a car owners name, you don’t know which of the 71 Corvettes, 65 Pontiacs or 70 cudas got that award.
So you’d need to know who owns that cuda to ask him if or what he won.
Not every car there gets judged. An owner has to register and pay extra to get judged when he signed up earlier in the year. Other than some celebrity and sponsor picks. There is an also a limit to how many cars at the show can get judged, due to time and number of judges resources.

Ok thanks! I had heard it won " best detailed" or something like that, I'll have to ask the body guys. They do some extremely high end work.

For the record, unexpectedly my black car won the B-body Super Street Modified award. I was surprised to say the least when the name and car were summoned to the stage. I was content enough just to be flanked by a sea of A990's.

Just to add to your Black Friday Spectacular here is a friends’ car that is active around the Chicagoland area, Joliet, Great Lakes Wi. and RT41 Dragstrip in the middle of nowhere Indiana (you should wander there sometime).

Transparently, my celebrity plus award pick went to a beautiful '61 Chevrolet 2 door sedan 409 4-speed Biscayne in Tuxedo black. The car stuck in my mind for a long minute and throughout the show after they were being dismounted from the rigs on Thursday morning at 6:00 AM.
A very close second was DP's exceptional day two '62 Dodge Max Wedge T-85 car. Both here. First photo credit: RMCRGR.
