Car show pointers :
Ok here it goes.
For those who know me, Know Ive been judging for about 6 to 7 years and showed a 98 honda civic hatch back for about the same time.
I was trained by the best in the Game, Pablo , Ray Brooks, John Marsh, Greg Chupp and a few others.
I averaged about 40 t0 50 shows per year up and down the east coast.
I think I was personally really succesful with it.. Granted It was never the hottest Civic out there but It received alot of recognition at major shows.
Awards, TV show, Magazine, Sponsors and catalogs etc etc etc... And was in 2 of the hottest car clubs in GA , Perfected Images and The International Allstars.
At the show I over heard someone say something Like.. "I bet that mofo doesnt even have a hooked up car".. I kinda just blew it off and really have no idea what he drove or even if this cat had a car there.. Maybe he was upset The way I judge his car or something, Honestly, I wish I could remember who it was..
Tips :
I like to give advice, Dont think Im a snob or a MR. Know it all.
If you just started showing or something, take a good look.. I mean, take a good look at the cars built by teams such as ELITE, ALL STARS and ECI.
I think they are the cream of the crop.
1- CLEAN : I understand if you drive your whip everyday, YOU ARE AT A CAR SHOW.. you are showing of your car.. I mean, when you about to bang a chick are your balls dirty and shit ?
2 - MODS : you can have 500 mods, It dont matter, QUALITY over QUANTITY. No questions asked. Seriously, take a good look at the job done, does your kit fit? does the paint look FRESH at all times? Is the Fiberglass work on your car EVEN and DOES it flow? Are your wheels clean inside and out? Wiring ? can you hide it please? Clean intearior? Does your interior match?
3 - BRANDS : I typically dont really care about this, we all started somewhere.. But please, if you already are using a Cheap as brand, atleast make it look good, It may be imposible, but atleast show you tried.
4- PURSES AND OTHER MISC SHIT : Please remove the crap out of the car, It does not look good in there and it doesnt make car judges happy.
5 - I.C.E ( noobz: In car entertainment ) : We know you have spend some cash on your dope system and TV's and shit, Keep the music low and if you are going to play a movie, please keep the F&F shit at home. Play some porn or chuck norris movie or something diffrent.
6- JUDGING SHEET : Please do not ask for the Scoring sheet, You already saw it. The show Staff does not have to give it to you.
You didnt place? Take a look around you and seriously anaylize why you didnt place.
7 - CAR PRESENTATION : I know we have tons of mods on our cars, believe me when I say this, 95 % of IA events we will allow a small presentation of your vehicle.. certains things we dont see and if you point them out we will look for them and it will help your score extra. Now, PLease dont act like you dont know what the Fuc* you have done.. I can see you only have 5 mods, dont add shit you dont have. Ive seen cats with 100's of mods and they knock that shit out in about 2 minutes. Most of the time, I tell people " YOU GOT 2 MINUTES " please do not get offended.. You must be prepared.. YOU KNOW YOUR RIDE way better then anyone at the event. Another tip is : Have a list or something. And dont tell me, I have internal work done, I cant obviously see it under all the wire loom and I can def tell your are lying. And If im wrong, Shit a judge cant, more then likely wont get your points.
And Never mentioned mods you are getting next week, Judges dont care about that. We are JUDGING NOW, not next week.
8 - AWARDS : Why people always ask me " WHEN ARE AWRDS ".. Ok, you should already know what time the show starts and ends, you are here, you saw info somewhere , so you should know.. But when it comes to awards time you are dragging to get your ass to the award ceremony.
9- TROPHIES : whats the point of having 30 of these in front of your car? Judges dont look at these and wont give you extra points, they know when a car is hot shit and is capable of winning at every show. Even if you have a Display of your car, they still look gay, keep them at home.
Plus, they might scratch your interior driving all that hardware to an event.
10- ENDING : When the show is over, Do not come and ask the staff weird questions.. We know all these stuff and can tell you are upset because you lost. Wait until the next day, contact the staff or call them and find out what happened, Believe me, they wont mind telling you why decisions were made. You look like a total assclown in front of everyone.
11- TRASH : We know who park where, Please pick up your trash!! ASSHOLES.
12 - GOING HOME : Take it easy, is been a long day, Please remember that about 95 % of the time the POPO will be around the area waiting to catch the F&F wannabees. Relax.
Peace.
