One of our guys entered his daily driver in MODIFIED and got 3rd place...
he'd driven the car to  the convention and had hosed it off at a car wash
before entering.   He was quite pleased at the results of the show and at
bringing home any sort of trophy/ribbon at all from a national convention,
and from a daily driver at that.

Well, I got curious and went outside and measured the original 7.00x13
(code dated Oct-66) spare tire on the spare tire mount bracket in the daily
driver '67 coupe and it measured out as none of the above.   Got it exactly
right...
