While you may disagree with the ISCA guidlines, It's the most universally standard system and was the best place for us to start. For the most part, presentations were between 5-10 minutes, but he took his time because he was proud of what he had done. And, while 100 trophies are great and all, I really was hoping that the show wouldnt be just a bunch of people fishing for a trophy. I think for the most part, most of the people there had a good time hanging out and checking out each others cars. The trophies are really meant as a motivation for everyone to dress up the cars a bit. Next time we are going to get a bigger location (we turned away almost 40 cars once the lot was full) and hire judges so maybe I can hang out and check out the cars myself. Anyway, congrats again to everyone who won, and nice showing for the Db Drag, we are also hoping to build that up around here since I havent been able to find many shops or clubs hosting Db Drag Comps around atlanta.
Even tho i placed at this show, and appreciate it- I do feel the need to point out a few things for somone i dont allow on this forum. 1st - The judge should know a mod was done to the car because Thats what the person wanted on their car. Rice or Not , hince its there. 2nd- Not ALL your judging forms where properly filled out- I happen to know this for a fact due to i asked to see them! 3rd- "Presentation" you speak of has a few holes in it, i know for a fact somone DID take the time and talk to a judge about their project for quiet some time, althought they didnt remember every single detail and was nervous due to it being their first show Ever. It was properly "Presented" verbaly , and had some display, to be honest- it was cleaner than mine. All i mean by this is , if your defending yourself or your judges by "presentation" make sure there was a fair chance for everyone to due so, and im no rocket scientist- but if you spend " 30 min " on everyones "presentation" that'd be a LONG ass show!
Just my 2 sents- But I do feel strongly that people on here appreciate a judge name Pablo ( if he still does it ) Also yea there are a few that do DB drags- Clash of the Titans ran them for about 2 yrs. In the end, i hope this is taken as Constructive - and not a Stab
