Thoughts on "Pefect 10" show
-
For a first time show it went very well with minimal to no snags at all. What alot of people don't understand is there is alot of pressure that goes on behind the scenes (weather it be on stage, floor, judging, venders...etc) Whatever the outcome, people are never going to be happy. The best thing to do is to brush the dirt off the shoulders and figure out a way to become better for next year.
The only rant I have was the crushed bottle of O.J behind the stage..stunk like old wood and orange juice for a good portion of the night haha (the story behind it was quite hilarious).

You have no idea how hard it is to judge cars, do the security, clean your own car and run the PS2 booth. Sounds easy enough, but its really rather a pain. But I'd do it all again if asked.

Thank you once again to tintmasters, models, and crew for their hard work, the entrants for showing and the spectators for coming! All are needed to make a successful show, and to me the show looked pretty successful.
My favorite part was getting to drive afterwards, but its been awhile since I have been able to cruise.
As far as judging goes, that is not one job I would like to have. It is a difficult job, one that always recieves harsh crticism.
And I agree with tufte, if you do not like it, try to change it for the next show. So far this year I have tried to do at least one thing diffrent to my car before each show that I have entered. (this time a carbon fiber spark plug cover WOOO HOOO!)
also to answer tufte's question I did get some things done to the interior right before Autovations. The pics are on the cardomain, nothing much but I think it looks clean!
thanks again everyone for a great time

Advice to anyone who is going to have their car judged by me: I check 2 wheel wells and under the sideskirts for dirt. If I find dirt in any of those areas I deduct points from the cleanliness section. Seriously, 95% of the cars had CHUNKS of dirt up in their wheel wells.I hope I got bonus points for the chunks of rubber I left "intentionally" in my wheel wells.

My top Ten For every vehicle there:
4.white on white STiThanks, but mine isn't an STi. The white STi had Bronze wheels, the White WRX wagon had green wheels. The other WRX wasn't white so I assume you meant me. Thanks though!

Overall I thought the show went very well. I'd bet that if anyone attending didn't know it was the first year of this, that they wouldn't know any better. Everything was well organized, the cars came in and out well, the ticket booth and door monitors worked well, the lighting, car layout, etc was very good. I would rate the show as a 9 out of 10, which is very impressive since it was a first. My only dislikes were the music was a little too loud (I like to be able to carry on a conversation easier, and yes I'm old LOL) and I ended up being parked in front of the fog machine which covered my car in goo by the end of the nite.
Oh, and anyone complaining about the models is gay.

I'll have some time to wash it off today. You can have a ride anytime, but I don't let too many people drive it. :eek:

You are correct, judging did have score sheets, I should have been more clear. The only section that I could have any sort of personal opinion added was the "Overall Appearance" category. Everything else was based on cleanliness/display/ICE/Performance Mods/Exterior Mods/Interior Mods/Custom Paint or Graphics/Clean Paint/and one more category I can't think of off the top of my head.Advice to anyone who is going to have their car judged by me: I check 2 wheel wells and under the sideskirts for dirt. If I find dirt in any of those areas I deduct points from the cleanliness section. Seriously, 95% of the cars had CHUNKS of dirt up in their wheel wells.
What the hell is ICE?
Also, I have a question. Since you judge interior/exterior mods, does this mean cars that don't have any get poor judging?
