I drove my MK4 seventy miles to California, MO for their annual Ham & Turkey Festival car show. My car placed 1st in my class!

You've got to love how the mid-west celebrates anything and everything.

That's pretty fun. Nothing wrong with a good time in my book. And no fuel issues either which is the big win.

The car ran perfectly. I'll be doing another, longer drive next weekend for the Gateway Cobra Club's annual picnic (weather permitting).

Nice looking trophy Dave! That's one thing that's great with these cars. They pretty much fit into any of the events. Classic cars to modern, they do it all. Although some of the classic car guys get a little miffed when you win since it's not a 'real' 65 car.

I've been entering the car as a 2017 Factory Five MK4 Roadster. This show had a "Special Interest" class, and I entered it in that class.

Having seen your car last month in Mexico, MO, You should win at most of the events out there!
Congratulations. Hope your current build is going well. Ed
