For the most part I stay away from the participant vote shows. No matter how nice my car is, the Mopars are always in the minority, and I never get votes from the Brand X-ers. There are too much "politics" in these shows. What's most irritating is that there is a local club here that is made up of all makes and models, and for the most part their cars are all driver quality at best, but they all win because all they do is vote for each others cars.
