hnmm... not in most cases. But just because someone has a widebody or convertions does not mean that person should score higher. It all falls down on how well is done.
But if both cars are done corectly, No way the regular kitted car should score higher then the widebody and convertion vehicle.

Sometimes, score sheets are also setup funny.. so judges have to know how to use it corectly.

I agree with Greg.... Honestly judging a car is not hard if you are knowlegable about cars.... But, sometimes you don't know about certain vehicles...
For example at the WTN show, I judged TREY's STI and VALS EVO.. Guess what I know nothing about these cars.. I told them exactly that I dont know jack about this cars... Please explain what this does with that... from the information i gather from that, I now have to see how well it has been executed and how clean the work has been done.
If some of you guys want to learn more about judging just ask the pro's Like Greg Chupp, Pablo, John Marsh all the all stars peeps are VERY knowledgeable and been doing for a long time. Also read up on the ICSA rules, very helpful.
