Car show pointers :

[Allstar3.8T]

Tell me about it. I learned that from the ALL STARS man.. gotta be on point.
If you want one of the best to show you how to give a presentation if you are really serious, ask Greg Chupp shit, simply just watch him ,.. dude is a bible when it comes down to it.

Thanks for the compliments Julio, we had fun bro!
-In my time showing, (goin on 19 years now) I found the BIGGEST help in showing is always have a clean car. Not sorta clean, pretty clean, but Spotless...Brett is one of the very best at this. I began winning because I had clean, not radical, radical NEVER makes up for clean, but the two together are hard to beat.
-Next, be ready to be judged, dont pull in a show expecting time to clean...thats what Fri eve is for...you have to sacrifice to win at anything.
-Judging....Always stand near the car, not over the judge, not close enough to read what he's writing, but be in 20 ft, and I always stand, not lay back in a chair like I dont care, because I do.
-If you have 2 min presentation, walk and point, dont stand at one place and recite a list. I learned to do this 2 min run around, I feel better than most everyone because I wanted to win worse. **Its hard for everyone**, so I use to do 2-3 cars per show, just to get over the fear of it. (An Allstar req is be able to do anyones vehicle on the team btw) Also, if you dont know your own car, why are you showin?!
-Expect hard judging w/ regular judges....I showed SLAP w/ my civic widebody. They were after me I thought. I saw how I got judged harder because I won BOS every week, but they would reach in an rub stuff on my car others didnt get looked at. I had RADICAL mods nit-picked and others mild rides were winning best ofs....I wanted to win, so in time I learned what each judged "looked for" and when I knew who was judging I made sure my Fri eve clean was still good enough.
- Get prepped to be screwed occasionally. It happens, and its generally an accidental oversight. If you feel it isnt ASK Our team lost a team award by judging accident last year, we won over the next team by a 20 pt AVG! Thats alot.....I was pissed, but it was too late, all I wanted to hear was "we screwed up" Once I heard that, and we ALL saw the evidence, it was cool.

In the end, go for fun, and TRY, to keep it that way. Losing sucks when you spend big $ to win, so decide if you can handle that before you take the big $ plunge!
