The first one is always the one you remember forever. Word of advise, don't be wrapped up in the trophy and award thing. Go to enjoy the day, share your truck and have a great time. If you get an award that is cool but never should be expected. Thank folks for compliments and don't worry about the nit pickers, There those and they usually travel in pairs who's whole hobby is to point out what they see as flaws in folks rides. They are usually the ones with the beat up piece of junk out in the parking lot and not entered in the show. The best prize is when someone wants to have their photo taken with your rig. That is one of my best memories from the 73 NSRA street rod nationals in Tulsa. A younger guy had his buddy take his photo with my truck because he had one at home that he was working on. Remember to take photos to share with us.
