Should Members of a Club Sponsoring a Car Show Be Eligible for Awards

My 76 Ventura took Best Pontiac in one show, because it was the ONLY Pontiac there. I also took a best in class win with my last fox body Mustang in the only judged event that I ever entered it in. I can honestly say that I did not think it was deserving of first place, but the judges saw different. My 70 Dart was a much better car, built 90% by me, yet it rarely got any recognition in the dozens of times I entered judged shows. The 75 Dart Sport will likely never be entered in any show, unless there is a category for shitbox. Lol
