Car shows- Something does not make sense

In 30 odd years in the hobby I have never entered one of my old Mopars in a show. Couple time hauled one there with my parts for the swap, just to give them another car as they asked me to.
I don't mind paying the fee to help their cause. I just have no interest in competing or listening to comments.
I do enjoy seeing people's work, and meeting some people that are down to earth low ego type.
