r these all the classes :eek: ? for a magazine, i would have expected more. and how can there be a best of show 1st and 2nd :thinking:

[CodyW]

i'm just relaying the message, i didn't have anything to do with setting up the classes or anything like that....sorry. i believe their was a typo from the original classes though, and you are correct about only one best of show.

[carbongs]

yeah, more classes? hmm, might have to come see what's going on there. not enough interest to show if there's only those classes

[CHADbee]

i was handing out the fliers to this show at the varsity meet last night. my team will have people in the competition clutch booth as well as the tophat booth. everybody come out to my side of town for once.

sorry for the delay in getting back to everyone, but we are currently working on adding in a few additional classes. i'll post up anything that gets decided on as soon as i hear any news.

also, the parking will be in one of the large paved areas and you won't have to be on the dirt.

registration can be done by emailing [email protected] though, and he may also be able to answer any additional questions you may have.

[TOP HAT]

We will be adding more classes so be ready.

just word of advice... normal classes would be:


Top 10 wild
Top 20 Mild
Best of... Show, Interior, Paint, System, Motor

or more broken down


Top 20 Import
Top 5 Euro
Top 5 Domestic
Best of...

if you guys need help on the event(cody/mike), we always have our door open... i'm sure you guys would like to have a successful event specially since you don't know much about the scene. :goodjob:

[Twinnos]

^^^what he said. u guys still dont have classes for imports or domestics :no:
but u got a class for 4x4!?!?!?! (nothing against 4x4's)

[TOP HAT]

Its a sport compact show. Import and domestic togeather. Its alittle hard to have that many classes with a 1 day event. All you over serious people remember its for fun.

jus saying, for this to be a car show thrown by a automotive tuner magazine you would think that the powers that be would have better suited classes all the way around. hey i got an idea, to make it fun, throw a free show and dont charge the $20 :goodjob: that way we dont have to worry about the competiveness of competiting, entering and paying $20 :yes: .

[Cool Cat GTR]

Certainly no offense intended because Tophat and S3 both have great folks but regardless of the size or length of the show, there are standards participants expect. From what I've read in this thread it sounds like a guaranteed disaster. If the promoters don't know or understand customary classes, it would be hard for me to believe judging would be any different. I go to shows to have a great time and could care less about whether I trophy or not. My feelings are not typical of most show goers. If you all don't get organized and have a clear plan of action with some meaningful classes this show will go down as the "Once Annual S3/Tophat Car Show". It's not to late to do it right. If anybody else feels like me, please post up and let these good folks know. Just my 2 cents.

[TOP HAT]

Thanks for the feedback guys.

[4dmin]

dude i know you guys at Top Hat and S3 know how to get in touch w/ us at IA... as has been mentioned its not too late to fix situations... but no one is going to pay 20$ to compete for 3 awards considering 90% are going to be import sport compact cars. if you guys are just expecting 30 cars i guess you guys are on track but i would think a magazine would be looking to do a big event. :goodjob:

[TOP HAT]

Paul, can you shoot me your contact number, i dont have it. I will give you a call if you dont mind.

Thanks, Mike

[JASONBALL]

keeping eye on this post to see if IA can help out on this one.

[4dmin]

Paul, can you shoot me your contact number, i dont have it. I will give you a call if you dont mind.

Thanks, Mike

hey mike sending you a PM w/ it. :goodjob:

[CodyW]

alright, it's been decided to kinda simplify the classes and we're just gonnna go with:

Top 10 Wild
Top 10 Mild
Top 10 conservative
Best of show

it might not be perfect for everyone, but hopefully it'll help a litlte bit. hope to still see all you guys out there, and don't forget to send an email to [email protected] if you wanna pre-register. thanks!

[JASONBALL]

hell of a lot better. glad you worked it out. I'm sure there will be a lot bigger turn out now that. the classes have changed. congrats. good luck with show. still up in the air for me.

[TaKashi]

[Brady]

23 cars....bitch.

[Twinnos]

:eek: , sorta figured. only because the original flyer that had been passed out had the whack classes on it. kinda messed up though for a magazine car show. oh well, u live and learn. maybe next time they will get the classes right before they print up and pass out the flyers.

thats what i was thinking...if they had the classes right from the start there would have been a better turnout.

[Brady]

yeah but i heard the judges rocked!

[quickdodge®]

I don't know about the "judging," but one of those judges just looked plain stupid as fuck. Later, QD.

[Nittanys1]

^^^ha ha ha!!

[DeadDoc]

Damn.... I might have placed!

[TaKashi]

one car didnt even pay to show .. but still get a trophy.. how wake is that.?

i'am the only car there that have lambo door conversion.. and they place it in mild....

[rollininstyle2004]

Thats because compared to what was placed in Wild (putting the impala aside because that didnt look wild to me, but then again i never took a close look at it...) your car was mild. My car has close to $15k in mods and i was still in mild...

[Brady]

eehhh...

[Nemesis]

eehhh...

Smart ass... thats my job.

But yeah... so it was or wasnt a good show?

[carbongs]

yeah the judging wasn't biased but there's always room for improvement. if only the AC was on!

[Brady]

haha yeah i decided that was mean. had to fix it.

But yeah...some things fell throught the cracks and ended up that Cody, Clint, and I had to judge as the real judges never made it out. Have no fear though, as i am almost sure there will be another, way more organized, WAY MORE, and in a moe bettah location. Anyways, yeah.
Classes were a little meh...but for the most part went how looks over $$ invested. For the most part i would say 2 guys who had never judged before did..."decent".

[CodyW]

yes indeed, a lot of it was sorta last minute (unfortunately we aren't some huge staffed magazine - there are only 2 of us to do the entire thing), and we had to spend mose of our time lately putting the latest issue together which didn't leave a ton to get the show as organized as we wanted. to make it even more fun, the other 1/2 of the magazine (our editor) had to go out of town last minute for an event up in west virginia, and i had to spend a good bit of the past week moving. and as brady said, we had a few judges lined up that also couldn't make it out, but we had a few of us around with enough experience to take care of it so that's what happened.

we do really appreciate the people that did come out though and braved the heat and slightly far drive to conyers (for some of us). i'll keep everyone posted if we get anything else organized for a later date, and hopefully it'll run a little smoother. thanks again though!

[Nittanys1]

I would have been out there showing but I had already planed a trip to the mountains with my daughter and gf

I think you guys did a pretty good job judging. I hope you didnt interpret my last post as something negative towards any of you. I enjoyed you and the other judges more then many others that have judged my car in the past. :goodjob:

Haha well excellent. Super clean car you have though. I didn't recieve any negative vibes just trying to explain some things.
