Car Show

[NJSPEEDER]

voting in the car show will be done by everyone who attends the event. we decided to go with spectator voting since it rewards the cars that really stand out, not jsut the ones that some "expert" finds the fewest supposed flaws with.
for classes we are thinkign of going with one class for each generation and having several special awards available(best engine, best chrome, best wheels, best engineered, best paint, best camaro, best firebird, best project/work in progress).
all votes cast for the best car from each generation and best camaro/firebird will be added up to pick the best of show winner.
as of right now we do not have a lock on how many trophies we will have to hand out. for budget reasons the special awards may be done as plaques and the top 3 in each generation adn top 3 in best of show voting will get trophies.

this sound like a reasonable set up to you guys? any more special awards you think would work?

will you be allowed to show and race?, will there be time between having your car in the show to be judged and having a class be racing?

somthing i ran into in my first slp day, was that i was playing around in test and tune when the judges walked through the show...i would not have won anyway, but its somthing that can be avoided so i thought i should bring it up.

[NJSPEEDER]

everything will be going on at one time. there is no way anyone could do both.

How about the "I can't believe that thing actually runs - and made it here!" category? I might win that one. Something along the lines of "Most desperate to attend an event".

im in for the show, no racing my slowwww maro

[Untamed]

Regardlss of the shape of mine, if I can drive it there, I'll enter. Should make the voting easier for the other third gens.

[NJSPEEDER]

since i will be busy all day and won't be able to run my car i will leave it on teh show field.
hopefully i will have a shot at best engineered or something since i am not planning a fancy paint or interior set up.

Well that sucks azz.....obviously I want to show my car, but I'd also like to run it. Damn you and your rules!

[Untamed]

Somehow I think all the showy, go-fast guys will be on the track, while all the works in progress will be shown. Might be better that way - from the rust buckets on the show field, to the showy cars on the track, non-clubbers might start to get the itch, seeing where they can get their own f-bodys to.

Kind of a before and after type deal.

hmm, im not sure if i'll be showing my car or racing it. IF i have the engine swap done, i'll run it, but if not, i'll show it. Myabe there could be a class best sound system and no thats not ricey, lol.

[NJSPEEDER]

so many people have mentioned that their cars are works in progress that we are adding another special award for best project. now even my hunk of **** has a shot at a prize :P

Well, is that a prize of pity? "Wow, look at all the rust you have to remove. Sorry man, take this plaque".

Or is it based on all the things we plan to put into it? Or all the mods already put into it, even though it doesnt have fresh paint? A sympathy award might be fun to win.

[NJSPEEDER]

i would prolly vote for the person who was working on the most radical idea for the car.

Anyone can lie and say they are building like a 2,000 hp engine with quad turbos and a flux capacitor then. Oh wait that's what I'm doing....I win!

actually im doing 8 rear mounted turbos with high density muffler bearings so i might have ya

[Mike]

billllllll trailor your car in, and you will win

[HardcoreZ28]

Your 8 turbos have nothing on my flux capacitor, just hope there's enough room for me to hit 88mph while lightening strikes.

On a side note, those rear mount turbo kits look pretty sweet. Might consider that for my next project.

[V]

most radical project eh? hehe... now I have some ideas... i got about 4-5 cars in parts to play with... wheres my plasma cutter and MIG

I used to judge planes at the Greenwood lake EAA501 Fly-In's so I'll try and dig up some judging ballets to get an idea on what classifies each car

[Mike]

i didnt say it was a good reason....just a good excuse
