I personally like to Show my car, but could honestly do without the judging aspect. The Only reason I pay the fee is so that I can park next to friends in the better areas, and to get a
free shirt:hehehe:.
Aint' that the truth! I always feel funny signing the "rat Rod" up for a "judged" show:rofl1
Actually placed Rat Rod in the category a time or 2).
So very true.. There's ALWAYS going to be someone left upset! At the few shows that I have attended, I've witnessed people getting upset with the end results.:nonod:
I've seen people whining like children over the "unfairness" of the outcome:thumbsdown: Pathetic IMO For me, that kind of anger really ruins the show.
I like this idea,"Peoples Choice". It gives the Judges select cars to judge.
:thumbsup:It's not a bad idea:thumbsup:
"The rub"...peoples choice isn't the only one skewed with politics, numbers and other factors. Imo, so are judged shows.
NTM, judged shows are or can be skewed by Bias, friendships etc.
Absolutely!! It's just not a science:rofl1:
Exactly! But, if the final cars to be judged are picked by the people, this may greatly reduce the possibility of the above mentioned from happening.
I think his concern is that if the larger club in attendance sways the vote, then regardless of judging, the winner will still likely be someone from that club. If that's what he meant, I think he's correct.
:lmao: This is my feeling exactly!!!:thumbsup:
I like the idea:lmao:
And like everyone here has said...Have Fun!!!
Man! Ain't that the bottom line?! It's the only reason I go. Friends, cars and good causes!:thumbsup:
I've got a box full of "trophies" from Ronnie Setzers saturday night "show" You got one for showing up and putting up with his loud mouth on the speaker
:rofl1:
As far as judging, again, if you're a serious trophy hound (no problem with that), I"d skip the local shows and only attend NCRS and similar shows where the judging parameters are know in advance.
Local shows, I don't care who does them, will likely always be skewed one way or another. A local judged show? By the judges opinions. Peoples Choice...obviously by the "people" in attendance.
We would gladly entertain any other suggestions
Here's one.
There was a show recently (non-vette/ricer show IIRC) held locally.
They did the following:
Stated judging parameters in writing well in advance of the show.
Specifically defined the classes (stock, modified, custom, engine, body, etc).
For the "modified" classes, they broke down each modification category and asessed point to each possible mod (ie: headers=x points, turbo/blowers=X points, custom paint=X points, and so on.)
In doing this, everyone knew what they had coming in!
If you were showroom stock, you didn't compete with highly modified cars.
Your showroom stock Z06 wouldn't compete with a blown custom C4, and the C4 wouldn't compete with a concours quality C2 that you could eat off of!!
The classes were better defined, car's weren't just lumped together, and the point scale was pretty specific. Other than cleanliness, there was little wiggle room for judges bias.
You could and I believe should, still have a "PEOPLES CHOICE" award, regardless of the potential bias:thumbsup: It's just a cool award!
Would the above end the bickering? Probably not. But it's give people less to complain about:lmao:
be advised that BACC has always given portions of all events to the Tampa Childrens Home and the Wounded Warriors Cause
:thumbsup::thumbsup: Aside from the kids hospitals (St. Jude, All Childrens, etc, this group is one of my favorite groups or support! Thanks for supporting them:thumbsup::thumbsup:
