Bonny Eagle

It seems Bonny Eagle, very slow to learn, is learning a LITTLE.

On the plus side, it seems they listened to our complaint that the Tuners were being treated unfairly by parking them out at the bus barn. They have been moved and will now be part of the show. Good for you, Bonny Eagle.

But Bonny Eagle STILL has learned very little. There are (4) tuner classes for so few vehicles, which indicates a lack of thought in classing. Looks like every tuner should get a trophy, with a couple of trophies left over. Also, only (3) truck classes, and NOWHERE is there room for any truck 1950-1954 unless it is 4WD.

And now they have a new class that appears to be a case where someone is "buying" the 1st place trophy - the class is NEW FACTORY MUSCLE 2009+.

WOW! An entire class for 18 months worth of cars! I cannot help but think this class was added strictly to benefit just one or two "special friends" of whoever is organizing this show. There is no other valid reason for such a specific and small class. Stinks of cronyism.

Still, we expect to be there, but only because Bonny Eagle is Criss' Alma Mater, and the Woody is her car. If not for that, I am not sure we would bother, simply because Bonny Eagle just can't seem to get it right - even after 30 years.

They probably think they have 30 years experience. I think they have one year experience, repeated 30 times.
