Thanks for the compliments. I dont judge at the nats so I could not tell you. I know they do not check motor codes. Actually out of all the 70 to 73's it was the highest scored car. I got beat by a 74 that Steve restored and a 76. I have a few reason why it might have scored well.

1. I was out drinking with the judges the night before.
2. I try not to act like a ass to other people.
3. Maybe the resto on the car was better than the other cars?
4. I had the best restored hood latch out of all the cars.
5. I got lucky because Scott and Tom did not bring one of their restored cars to the show.
