I saw your car there it looked good.  I WAS goign to run the 1/4 but I didnt have long sleeve shirts and pants so they wouldnt let me run. "IN THE INTERESTS OF SAFETY, anyone driving on the strip at Shakespeare County Raceway is required to show a full driving licence and wear a crash helmet. it’s best to bring your own helmet but they will also be available for hire on the day"  Nothing about clothing there.
I ended up putting APR summer sale flyers on REVO cars.

Looks fantastic dubber, lot of effort no doubt  :cool: 

It's such a shame that the daily driver/unmodded cars don't get much of a chance in show n shine.  It's more effort to keep a daily looking good as it's in constant use.

I was talking to Neil Birkett about this. There is the show n shine for modified cars, with their individual classes, then a concourse for standard cars. The trouble is, the concourse is always won by cars that only ever get driven to shows and never carry passengers, so cars like mine never get a look in.

I think that there should be a daily driver class, but how can you be sure that a car is genuinely a daily driver? All that will happen is the concourse cars that don't quite make it will claim they are dailys and enter the "easier" class.

Fair play for trying to keep a daily driver to such a high level of cleanliness, but that would send me round the twist every time I drove the car trying not to get it 'too' dirty.

Does look good in pics though :cool:

I can see what you mean, but everyday cars do get dirty though, so no point in stressing about it too much, you just have to clean them more often.  It's a never ending vicious circle though :laugh:

Not that often. Minimal contact and all that.
