Hi Matt, There was also a Black Gran Sport next to me that I have seen numerous times at AACA Meets that had headers, aftermarket Valve covers clearly marked with the TA logo( a well known aftermarket Buick racing manufacturer), etc. My guess is that sometimes the judges aren't up or knowledgeable about certain cars and things slip by. Last I saw the Black Gran Sport at a few meets it hadn't won a First Junior. This year a photo shows the First Junior grill badge on the car. It slipped by somewhere and he achieved what he was obviously aiming for. It is a beautiful car, but obviously modified. Maybe there weren't enough deductions this time so he got a First Junior Award? P.S. Just saw he well the car won a Senior Award at Hershey. (Only one going for a Senior Award)
