John Force Car Show

Well it’s not often that I have a Sunday off. But today was one of those days. So my studio manager Michelle told me about a car show going on in Yorba Linda. Since are new car is up and running we’ve been saying we want to start going to car shows. So we checked it out online to see what it was all about. John Force Holiday Car Show
It turns out that it’s one of the biggest shows of the year. It’s put on to benefit the Chip’s for Kids toy drive. Everybody who attends has to bring at least 1 $10 unwrapped toy. So we thought this would be perfect for our first car show. So we picked up a few toys on Saturday and headed to the show early Sunday morning. Since we just heard about the show we didn’t get to pre-register like the other 900 cars did.It did say on the site you could just show up and you might get lucky and get an open space and still get your car entered. So when we arrived we couldn’t believe how big this car show was. It was over 900 cars. So many amazing cars. We put our name on the waiting list and crossed our fingers. The show started at 10. Around 9:30 they gave us the thumbs up that we had a space. We were super excited to get our car into this show. It was for a great cause and there were so many amazing cars to check out. So we hung out all day,met some great people. Had some friends and family stop by. It was a great day. The best part of the day came at the very end of the show. It turns out that there was judging going on with all the entries. We didn’t know how things worked at this show. Since it was our first show ever. But all day judges are going around the show scoring cars. We found out later that they were picking cars for Best Of Show out of the 900+ entries. So we thought we should stay until the very end just to see who won. We figured the chances for us winning anything were very slim. We found out that you should never assume that. It was fun watching all the winners get called. They were down to 2 winners left to go. And who’s name do we here next? You guessed it Jim & Stephanie Kennedy’s 1955 Ford Sunliner. We couldn’t believe it. Over 900 cars and we were Best of Show. Our first car show ever and we brought home a Best of Show trophy.
