Last Summer was their first go around with the new Summer series they were having.That series included show-n-shine,dirt drags,tug-o-war and sled pulling.I knew this show meant doing a double as I had committed to another show earlier.I took off work Friday and spent 12 hours detailing and cleaning making sure my ride was ready for both deals.Left the morning show and drove straight to the "Buck" for the nightcap show.All I signed in for was show-n-shine and was parked out back and began to make sure the truck was spotless.I still do not know why I did that as it didn't matter.
They drew a nice assortment of show-n-shine rigs with most guys cleaning their when they arrived.When it came time for judging,they-the Buck Management,came down on their golf cart parked out front and saidd I want that one,that one and that one.They never even got off their lazy asses to look at the trucks all they did was look for the two dots on the windshield(one meant show only-two meant show and competition).There were 5 of us who didn't even get consideration and when I asked about it I was told they would not use a "show" only rig.At 180,000 miles its hardly a show only rig and gets its share of abuse daily but it gets little respect for how hard it is for me to maintain it here on PA Roads.
I answered them politely and just decided I would not go back as I am not a puller and never will be.The heck of it was there was a lifted Ford,pearl flames and 22.5's which was the nicest paint I had seen in a long time there and he went home with me empty handed.I do not mind loosing in a judged competition to a better prepared truck,that happens,but when your beat by the judges who are biased from the start,I stay away...........Andy
