The reasons for not keeping the sheets is simple this is not a 1000pt judged show where we have 3 judges all judging the car. Posting the scores causes far too many issues where finger pointing will begin. This persons car was dirty I know I saw it, ect...

I have been doing 1000pt judging as a head judge for 12 years, had my 2001 z28 judged in the 1000pt shows for the same amount of time I will tell you it's all about being clean.

When we do 1000pt judging for the winter nationals we have well over 40 judges and on average we judge 8-10 cars in our classes that we are assigned.

I was asked why not hire judges the reason is simple the cost is one, and in some cases like Premium Productions the judges are FREE but they also keep 50% of the registration $$$$.

I will say this the judging sheet was 100% based off how clean your vehicle is not your mods.

If you are in Central Florida area and would like me to go over your car like we do for the 1000pt shows I would be more than happy to get you started and point out the areas that need improvement.

My suggestion is come to the show enjoy the company if you win a trophy it's icing on the cake, if you don't win just make sure you have a good time.

We know we will never please everyone that’s a given no matter how hard you try some people were just born to complain. I look forward to getting back into the swing of things with the organizers to begin planning on #3. Again thank you to everyone who attended all of the sponsors, and participants, my hats off to all of the organizers without everyone we would not have been able to put on this great event.

I thought it was all about good company and helping make a difference in a kid's life when he or she is in need.
