From this same show I could show you concours correct 35+ year old cars that are driven more than 5400 miles in 5 years that would score higher than anything brand new just rolling off the showroom floor.

Most of us, myself included, have competed at some time with people who have newer cars or newer restorations or more money. We all have to realize that anytime you enter a car in a show and shine judged show that you have to be prepared to be beaten, especially when you have won your class before. A newer car or a car with a newer paint job has an advantage, yes. If you don't like it, get a new paint job or whatever it takes to keep it fresh if winning is your priority. It accomplishes the same thing . Would this participant argue with that?
