And as a  promotor, I have had people get in my face complaining about their

do not  have much control over. And I have under extreme circumstances, told  
people to leave, and sometimes in not very kind terms. threatening if  
needed, damage to their cars, or having them towed and them arrested for  
trespassing. 


As Bob Dylan said "When ya ain't got nothin, ya got nothin' to lose." - I  
almost always show a car I bring to a Convention (When I do bring  one!<grin>) 
if only to show off my own efforts and inspiration. I expect  folks to 
recognize and respect my work, but (with a few exceptions) I don't  really care about 
their evaluations. That is why I like moving events. When the  green flag 
drops, the BS stops. Yes, there have been a few allegations of  questionable 
pieces on a few cars, and there is always somebody shopping for a  small (or empty) 
class to get a trophy. But basically, you can't argue with  the clock. If I 
lose on the clock, I have nobody to blame - but myself. - Seth  Emerson
