I dont understand what all the drama is about. Is it all because Ridinrails doesnt agree with who got a trophy?

lol, i never even said that, i just asked how judged the "best detailed"

as far as i know, everyones car was so clean they couldnt make a decision so they decided to give it to tony so veritas would have a better chance at earning more trophies that GA... (completely sarcastic)

Im not trying to disagree with your judging at all chuck, Im just upset that someone who wasnt at the show, didnt have a mod list filled out won something, it just doesnt seem like they cared about the show since they werent even there or didnt prep a mod list to be listed for their car if they did want to be there.

so say the car was already entered and the mom or dad of that person died?? they should choose the car show just because it is entered over the funeral just because it isnt ''fair" that they weren't there and won something?? the time and effort that went into the car didn't change just cause they weren't there.

its a 08 with like what did he say maybe 5000 miles? of course its clean, i never once seen his hood open, doors open i just seen the outside of the car...

5000 miles...I have about 7000 on my Camry, drive it every day...doesn't look anywhere near as good as his car. I've seen it dirty (mud splashed up, etc...) and every nook and cranny was clean when he showed. Everything...even the little hidden spots under the bumpers that you can only feel and not see.

On alot of other peoples cars, tony's S, the G35, or my car... They actually have parts that they need to clean, not just a stock car...
Good example: BRAKES, or wheels without hubcaps.
I have black wheels, and black brakes on my car, which are easily seen and everyone knows black is the harest color to keep clean. They were both spotless. I drive my car to work, 60 miles one way so it gets FILLED with bugs, and brake dust all the time and still only has 2300 miles on it.

Yes, they were John. You have absolutely amazing wheels. If there was a best Wheels category, you would have had my vote because NOBODY had the quality/finish wheels that you did. There were aspects of your car that didn't meet the "attention to detail" for lack of a better term. I don't want to pick your car apart publicly as nothing good can come from that.

It could be argued that because you have new parts on your car (not necessarily you, but others) that you have the advantage of not having them exposed to the elements for the same duration as the aftermarket parts. BTW, his car doesn't have hubcaps.

I wasnt expecting to win anything but when i heard his name called for best detailed i wondered what the hell they were looking for when judging that category.
But then again** i'm not part of veritas, or any other car club** so i mustve been disqualified right away. LOL

I was the only judge associated with a car club at all. That issue never even came up. Perhaps his car just appeared to be better prepped than the rest that we looked at. It's not like he hasn't won this award at at least one other P10 (I think he won 2 years ago...I wasn't judging that show, pretty sure SLD gave the award to him then...I haven't judged since the first P10)

Next year i'll remember to go drive a car off the lot, park it in my garage under a car cover, and take it out the day before to insure i win the "best detailed"

His car was cleaner than the fresh from the factory subarus that Muscatell had on site, so that won't work either.

Better idea, next year ask Jason/Shane if they will let you judge, then you will have the wonderful experience of knowing you did your best and knowing that everyone who disagrees with you thinks you are biased in one way or another. Many things in car shows are objective, meaning that you have a clear list of things that make/break a score, however detailing is subjective and is based on opinions. Unfortunately, not all opinions are popular and sometimes they are wrong. I may be wrong, I've never claimed to be perfect, far from it... At the same time, I don't think I was biased in any of my awards...but that of course is a matter of opinion.

Because, in all honesty, his car engine, wheels, tailpipe, floor mats, carpet, etc... are clean enough to where I'd have no problem eating off them....this includes WELL into his undercarriage, something that very very very few people (including me) bother to clean that thoroughly. There were only 2 other cars there as clean as his IMO, and they both took home their fair share of trophies as well....he drove his car there (and drives it daily) and for his car to be at that level of cleanliness says something about the great lengths he goes through to get to that point. The question I have for you then is, who should have won it if not Tony West? Your car? Tony S? The G? Give me a legitimate contender and I will gladly state why I think they didn't get it or admit that it was an error on my judgment and the judgment of the other 2 judges that were there as well.

IOW we are human and it is possible we made a mistake. Sorry, but we only had 2 mins per car to make our assessment and based on what we saw, his car won.

My questions weren't answered either, why was it ok for someone to not be at the show to win an award and did chases cavaliers mod sheet ever get filled out?

So Chase wasn't there...big deal! This isn't a person show, it's a car show. His car made it to the show, that is all that matters. Let's say that the owner of "The G" didn't make it, but his father/best friend/wife brought it down for him. Should that exclude him from winning? HELL NO!

I honestly can't remember if his sheet was filled out, but everything that he had done to that car "popped" to the point where it was easy to judge w/o a mod sheet. If he didn't have one, he got points deducted, just like everyone else. Doesn't mean he didn't score well on the other categories.
