For those of you who won awards at last year’s Bates car show, you will probably receive them at this year’s show at Bates Nut Farm. This information was just received from Steve Hurst in response to my recent inquiry.
The more I think about this, the more it pi*ses me off. I spent the bucks and effort to show my car last year and it isn’t right that an award would roll around a year later. It’s not like intricate or expensive trophies were to be designed and presented. I know Mr. Hurst had some personal issues, but come on, it doesn’t take much to place an order and mail the darn things out. He had the energy to plan the 2010 show but couldn’t get around to finishing the 2009 show. Sounds to me like cheapness or disinterest, or a combination of both, got the better of him.
I notice that the flyer for the current Bates show doesn’t mention any awards. Looks like that will be the excuse not to send any out this year.
