If the people who govern these shows allow it, then it is going to happen. This goes on in every form of motorsports. One guy will take a 57' Chevy and restore it to look like it came off the factory line the next guy will cut a hole in the hood for the blower, chop the top and tub the rear end. At a local show recently there was an A/C B there that was absolutely perfect down to the retro filters, next to it was a B that had a 327 Chevy. Who are we to tell any of these they are wrong? Nascar is stock car racing but when was the last time you went to the Ford dealer and found a V-8 powered, rear wheel drive Taurus? My point is that some people look at an old tractor and see a potential hot rod waiting to be fixed up, others will see a piece of history with stories behind each dent and ding while others will lovingly restore it back into perfect condition. Who is wrong?
I guess the way I see it there should be a time and a place for all of them. I dont like seeing an old farmer on his pride and joy being smoked at the pulls by some guy who has spent thousands of dollars in order to smoke him. I do however enjoy seeing both of them run. It is all in the people who run the shows and what their agenda is.
