I have to get in here and say my piece on this.
First - If you dont' like the way a show is run then don't go...period...end of story...this person was not a member of the club and wants to *****? give me a freaking break! This person shows up once a year to this function otherwise we never hear from them.
Ok now that thats out of my system.....in a Judged (Not by the general public) show...the cars have 3 classes really...street, show and race -
Street Judge the car but don't look under it...thats the rule...period end of story...I have been to yellow rose and lost 3 times....why..because I don't wire loom my wires in my engine compartment...and because the paint has been outside the lines on my tires...is it fair that my tires don't come painted so I have to do it and get counted off on and others don't...HELL NO..its my choice to paint it and I don't like wire loom on my wires so you gets what you gets.
Show class means they crawl all up and under that car...you better have either trailered it everywhere or had one hell of a detail crew because they will find dirt...and miss alighned bolts (yes I have heard of a 1st vs 2nd coming down to the bolts being aligned)
Race Class - Car is raced - I have seen people put there cars in this class because no one else was in it for their car and they new they would get a trophy...woohoo...
its 10 dollars of plastic come on if you ego needs it that bad you got a problem.
I am going to be completely politically incorrect because alot of the time I hold it back.
If you don't like the results they get F(*&#$ing lost and don't come back.....its a big world and no one is forcing you to be there...if you want to win then you better step it up and start bringing in an either completely redone car or a new one every year because alot of the people at judged shows are there to WIN and win at all cost...I mean for god sakes some of these guys have hundereds of thousands of dollars in their cars and they never see the outside of the trailers but for a few hours...
I know a couple that thats all their GT500 see's...the GT350 is to drive sometimes!!!!!!!!!!
I am so sick of people whinning when they don't get what they feel they deserve and believe that the rules should be changed for them....your acting like a freaking 2 year old and just like most of the 20 years olds now days.
THat job is too hard...I want something that is easy but I want to make $50,000 a year...I can't do that it requires work...GET OFF YOUR LAZY ASS AND WORK AT IT....life is hard and life is full of disappointments...I will say it again GROW UP.
Doug none of this was directed at you
Just at the letter...ok now I can relax.....................
