And the winners by participant vote were:

1st - 1982 CHP Mustang hatchback (Kevin McLaughlin)
2nd - 1991 UHP Camaro B4C (Matt McLaughlin)
3rd - 2002 CHP Camaro B4C (Kristin Read)

Congrats to all the winners. A fine time was had by all!

Thanks to Mike and everyone else who came to Ripon this year.The Camaros outnumbered Mustangs 4 to 2. The date hasn't been set for next year's show but it may be moved up in the year somewhat so we aren't pushing the beginning of the rainy season.

A couple of minor corrections though, 1st was won by Matt's '92 UHP Camaro, 2nd was Kris Read's 02 (black and white)CHP Camaro and my 82 Mustang was lucky enough to take 3rd in participant voting.

Doh! My bad on those results...I guess I really wanted a Mustang out on top.

Actually, I plead guilty by reason of being under the (slight) influence of pain medication that day. Had a mishap at home a few days before the show that almost caused me to miss out but luckily recovered enough to be able to be there physically (if not totally mentially).

Look for me at about the 4:00 mark, got a good blast of my siren on the audio!
