'Lessons in life' - Dinuba Sentinel
Competing in car shows isn’t why Horacio Valdez restores old cars, but a mistake led to him winning the Best of Show trophy, the top award, at the 23rd annual Dinuba Car Show on Saturday at Rose Ann Vuich Park. When Valdez heard this year’s car show was going to be at Rose Ann Vuich Park he decided to take his family. Another son, Horacio Jr. , had restored a 1969 Chevy Camaro. “During my sons’ senior years I work with them on restoring a car for them,” Horacio said. “Restoring cars has always been a hobby of mine,” Horacio said. Horacio and his two sons decided to take all three cars to the car show. At the event Horacio’s car was going to be placed in a different section of the park than his sons’ cars, so Horacio told the judges not to worry about having his car entered in the show. “What I enjoyed even more than winning the car show was seeing my sons win trophies. As it turned out, Fabian placed first in the Mopar Muscle Cars category and Horacio Jr. placed second in the Camaros and Firebirds category. Horacio said he later found out that the judges were deciding on Fabian’s car and his for Best of Show. Horacio said that the best part about Saturday at the park was spending time with his family,.
