I made a copy of the check and the trophy along with a copy of the paperwork indicating the votes I got and put it all in a frame with a photo of my engine. I put in on the wall in my garage and everytime I see it I laugh and shake my head. I love idiots. They keep the world turning. Well the weather is pretty nice here today. Think I will crank up the old "390" and go turn some heads.

Perhaps they should have taken this test before being on a judge. I'm not a "judge" but maybe I should be I got 9 correct. http://www.americantorque.com/game/engine-id/

Birdman: Did you say VOTES? Was it a spectator ballot box? Could be lots of idiots voting, and the "judge" may have been a vote counter. Anyway, congratulations for confusing the officials and walking away with the prize. Kinda like mid '50s Nascar.

I only got 13 right, but I think that would qualify me as a judge at this event. Unfortunately in every situation there are uninformed people (read stupid) who are in a position for which they are not qualified. I am glad however that you got the money. I like your idea of trying to be a flat head, but you might try entering as an early Pontiac, It seems they probably would not know the difference.

I wonder if the game might be a little more challenging if you through in some old Packards strait 8s and V8s, maybe an old Cad. flathead V8 or Chrysler flathead six. I have seen a few of those in Hot Rods. I wonder if the "judges" could tell a Pontiac strait eight from a Packard.
