Here we are 12 days after the meet and I still have a sour taste in my mouth after what happened to me. I drove my 33 DeLuxe Tudor 400 miles RT to the meet, enjoyed the great performance of my car. I was informed five days after the meet I forfeited an award because I left the concourse early, around 1pm, without permission. I understand the spirit of the rule but at that moment my only thought was to get back to the safety of my hotel room due to a sensitive medical issue with my prostate. I was told Judges spoke among themselves asking if anyone knew why I left early. I wonder why someone just didn’t ask me? I had texted one of the Judges several times previous to concourse day so my number was readily available. My activities were limited during the meet as it was because I couldn’t stray to far from my hotel room due to my condition. I was on the concourse from 7:30am til 1 and that was pushing it. As I said, having prostate issues is not something I just go around talking about. Lesson learned for the next National Meet.
