Judging is always such a pain in the ass. Which is why so many shows have gone
to participant judging. Amongst the top few in a catagory everyone always
thinks there car is better. There is a mentality amongst the trophy coolectors
I do not understand. Spending $10K, $20K, $30K+ on a show car the $50+ on gas
to get to the show, $100+ on a hotel, +$50+ on food, and $20+ on the entry fee
all for the chance of winning a $15 trophy which will end up gathering dust in
the garage makes no sense to me whatsoever.
