      Well guys, I've just finished an email exchange with John Drummond at Good Guys letting him know I'm withdrawing from SMOTY.

      I just don't have the time and money for the preparation, travel, and lodging to make an honest effort of it. I appreciate very much all the words of encouragement, but I would need to devote the next 2 weeks to getting the car ready, plus another week for the event itself. I can't do it ... real life intrudes.

      I'll be watching with keen interest to see who wins the big prize. I'm sure the other competitors are all breathing a huge sigh of relief now.

      I'm now turning my attention to a local autoX, then a track event at Sebring, and then RTTH3.

      This pains me to say, but I was really hoping to see you in the SMOTY event. I was rooting for a car like yours to beat the carpet cruisers.

      Oh well. Race gas and burnt rubber smells better than zaino.

      Do NOT take my previous post as a slam towards TROY.He builds as good a car as anyone,and truthfully a damn sight better than a very large percentage of builders.I only stated my opinion about the Hurricayne(and we all know about opinions).

      Yea, I finally went on the GG site to check out the contestants. I also forgot about AM's Vette and the Ring Brothers for that case, from what I can tell, it is probably between these two!

      I hope who ever wins at least has drove the darn car... To be put in this contest does the car have to drive in under its own power? After all it is called Street Machine of Year Award. What a joke if it doesn't.

      from what i have heard, in order for the car to be eligible for smoy it must be driven. i think the owner and one or more of the people that chose the cars must go for a cruise on fri. or sat. if the owner refuses to drive the car it will not be eligible for the award. that is just what i have heard i do not know if the info is 100% correct. if i am wrong, someone please correct me. but i do agree with you, the cars should be driven!

      IMHO this is the type of car that should win or least be in the top five.

      It is truely a street build, along the lines of both yours and mine. Not a
      million dollar build, however quality time and thought put into the project. Oh well, good guys (hehe) always watch from the sidelines. I'm not a trophy chaser anyways.

      I've never heard of that. I'm at the awards presentation every year, and I don't recall that ever being stated.

      I do remember they use to have to agree that the car would be driven, at least X amount of miles. But that was like 2 years ago, and I haven't heard them say anything about that lately. They probably dropped it. I'm sure some of the cars that win a Top 5 have basically zero miles on them.
