    Default Mustang Club of America (MCA) - National show Lincoln, NE July 13-15

    Is anyone else going to the MCA show in Lincoln? I've wanted to attend one of these national shows, in hopes of seeing some nice original/restored four eyes and to even appreciate some of the older models. And, of course, also to meet more fine folks who are interested in these cars. I had registered for the McAllen, TX show in March and was going to drive my car for display only, but an urgent business trip forced me to miss the show. For Lincoln I'm flying in. See the link below for more links with info and registration.

    I also wanted to participate more directly in these shows to learn, not just to be a spectator. So I passed the online test to become a certified judge in Occasionally/Daily Driven class. Passing is relatively easy and my perception was that the Occasionally/Daily Driven certification test is easier than the concours tests, which are specific to certain model year ranges and require a lot more knowledge than I currently possess. Maybe I'll try the 1979-1993 Concours test next after participating in one or two shows. I'm not a purist, but I do appreciate factory originality along with tasteful mods. I'm in contact with the show judges and plan to help them, which most likely will mean being a scribe ... writing down the observations of the more experienced judges. It should be a great learning opportunity. See the link below for more info on judging.

    I'll be there. I attend most of the MCA shows. You will often see me at the Classification line, where we check people/cars in using an app (our goal is to spend less than one minute getting you through classification). Then I judge Fox Bodies later in the event. These are tremendously fun events for car guys and gals such as us, and I encourage you to attend. Preferably bring your car... but if you can't, do what Saturn V is doing, to learn about the event and to see some of the best Mustangs in the country. Also, you get to meet their owners and talk about our beloved Fox Bodies (for me, the people side of the business is the most fun part.)

    Yes, it was good to meet you and so many others. Definitely was warm, even by Houston standards.

    For those interested, see the following pic thread started by Brock.
