Grand Nationals in Bellevue WA - How/When do I show my car?

OK, the title says it all.

I just finished my 100% restoration of my 65 Conv. I think it came out great. I took many liberties in the name of drive ability, safety and fun. When I started restoring this car (that I drove in High School ~25 years ago), I wasn't wanting a show car, but a car I could drive and perhaps I could pass down to my kids.

Anyway, back to now. My "C" code 65 has been "upgraded" to a "A" code with a Autolite 4100 carb, and dual exhaust, power steering/brakes, dual MC. The original 3 spd has been replaced with a T5 Tremec. and the plain convertible is now a "tribute", "clone" or what ever the current name is for a post factory GT modded car. I really like my car, and would like to show it off. I'm obviously not claiming a Factory GT Conv, but I don't want to be looked down on by purists (if they exist)

This is the question. At the upcoming MCA show in my home turf of Seattle, where should I show my car? On Saturday is the judged show. Is there a place there for my car? On Sunday is the "Peoples Choice" show. Is this more appropriate?

Except for a street show last weekend, I haven't had my car out on display. Any advice?

By the way, here is my car at the local show last weekend:

Have you been to the Round Up before? I think you'd fit into a modified class...they only have about 146 cars registered to be judged Saturday, and I think they have space for 200 or so. If I were you, I'd check out the club's website and get the car registered. If you get judged Saturday, your car is automatically in the Sunday show on display. Sunday, there are 1000 Mustangs or so, so you kind of get lost in the shiny cars.
 
I've always wanted to attend that show buy the car seems to be under construction or something was wrong with it at the time the show is on. Perhaps I can make it up there this year. I have heard great things about the show. To enter in the show on Sunday do they have classes for awards or is it just a people choice general award?
 
If you want to have your car judged on Saturday I would think the occassional driver class would be good for you. They don't judge for "correctness." They judge for workmanship and cleanliness. They do judge the undercarriage and underhood in this class.
