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

How do you guys feel about cars leaving before the awards are handed out? Is that frowned upon?
I don't care if folks leave early, but what really pisses me off is someone starting up their car and leaving DURING the awards ceremony, making the folks doing the show and everybody else wait until the MC can be heard over their exhaust noise (and believe me, normally I love a loud exhaust).
