Thanks. I'll have to check my pictures and see if I got you guys in it. The few on or in your profiles look pretty clean. Congrats!

I hope the pollen didn't hurt us too bad out there. I've got a black car. Unless I'm wiping while being judged, there's going to be dust on it. Of course I've got rock chips too but she's no garage queen and I can't have the car re-painted every few weeks. The curb rash though, that's on me, lol.

Unless you take off your SC, don't clean anything for a few months, and maybe do laps around a rock quarry, you're probably good for a while.

Congrats on the win. Very clean car and well presented.

^ This exactly.

I didn't think asking about who beat me and someone else asking about the sheets would have caused such a fuss. I had asked an organizer right after the awards if the sheets were available and I was told to check after the event. It was not made clear at the time that the sheets had been disposed of. No big deal, just curious how I measured up.

The organizers did they best they could with the resources they had and I think they did an awesome job. My only suggestion might be to start a sign-up list for volunteer judges early so there are plenty available and cars can get more than one score to work with. Just a thought.

Oh and I still have pictures to post, including some from on top of the Billet Customs trailer so stay tuned.

All judges were instructed not to take off for the pollen and take it easy because of the wind causing sand to be kicked up, as a judge you can always tell if it's new sand or something that has not been cleaned for some time.

Side note: I was one of the judges for the show. It is very difficult to judge all these great cars...yes, I may not like some of the things that others do to their cars but I'm sure there are plenty of people that don't like mine either. When I judge a car first I look at condition, paint in good shape, no major issues or damage, interior not worn. Then cleanliness...is the car clean! Did they take the time to wipe out the wheel wells, clean inside the wheels, down in the engine, etc. you get the idea. If I have a tie or close score that is when I look at the overall theme or where the owner is going with their ideas.

So rubber build up gets you extra points?

So we all for the most part had a blast. Got to meet all or a lot of you old and new faces and camaros all over . And some are now asking to see score sheet. You guys are kidding right?! I couldn't believe this thread was still going. Then I thought ok maybe Dave or Sean or jay or someone posted more pics. So when I get on here and start to read the last few pages alli can say is" your *ucking kidding right". I guess with large crowds thre will always be the few that care more about the $5 dollar trophy then the whole point of being there. To enjoy, relax,learn and best of all have fun. If you can't figure out why you didn't win or what points where for what, well then like stated earlier its all about what you like. Who cares. There will always be those who go all for the trophy, I would like to say from all I experienced and all the new people I met, no trophy could replace that. Thanks to all or you who attended and put it together. For without those two things none of this would have even been. Next year charge $5 more and just be a trophy for everyone!?, the no one has to worry about score sheets.
