My schedule may change as an independent BMW dealer has interviewed me to wet sand and/or paint prep $$$ euro cars that he buys. It's part time (which I like as I already have a full time job), pays well, and he will teach me wet sanding (which I know zero about). I'm talking to him Thursday and that will determine which shows I go to (if any).
Great Show Results for Ya Dennis! Going against trailered cars is extremely tough (and one sided IMO). I attend some mustang shows and there is a same year Mach as mine with 500 miles on it (after 3 whole years). Tough to compete against this, but I have a good time anyway.
Take Care Sir
