the show was spectator judged because we didn't feel the need to PAY for "professional" judges to show up. yes, you heard me, they want cash money to hang out and judge a car show.
the plaques came down to the same money issue. we had a few companies throw in products, but no one put up any cash for trophies/cups.
to me it looked like the car show judging was pretty fair overall. a car taht i woudl bet only a few of the members of this board have ever seen before won best of show, hardcorez28's super clean iroc took second, and pamperedz(only a few of you have ever met in person before today) took third.
the spectator judging was also posted several months ago. if you thought it was a bad system it woudl have been better to offer other options when the classes/rules were all still up for debate.
going forward it would be nice to have some professional judging, but any event i am invoved with will always have some level of spectator participation. because i try to put together car shows for spectators, not judges.
later
