When there are only a few watercooled others it is almost impossible not to
lump them together.I have been competing against the new cars for several years
with my 79 and that is just the way it is.If there were 10 MKIs there they
would be a class I'm sure just as there is a new bettle class.New is easier to
get ready.Having said that If I had to have a trophy I wouldn't enter. As they
say in drag racing, ya run what ya brung.I'm pround to enter my scirocco just
as I will be proud to enter Bluebus, as bad as it is.
It's about the people or everyone wouldn't be concerned about security ,
Ninja Neil. and the smokeout area .
Steve and Sharon Did a hell of a job and hope that they return for more
punishment next year.ole blue

Not a complaint about judging but a question.
This is the first time I showed a watercooled VW, are they normally all
lumped into just one or two classes? My 1984 Rabbit didn't stand a chance
against a 2004 Polo.

the Bakery Bus cause she's the one that inspired it. Course the half she's
getting is the one with the gas tank and she's gotta keep it filled. Two: On
awards; I think the new format went extremely well and I have heard only one
complaint. That about a bus that got beat by at least two busses which have
been featured in Hot VWs (no not my class). People need to realize that there
were some really awesome vehicles there. Many have been mag featured cars.
The "Best Of" awards were judged by 4 very experienced VW people who were
totally independent relative to the vehicles. I personally saw no classes
where awards were made which were not correctly judged, or at least very
closely so.

I hope Sharon is reading these posts and will know that a popular
uprising
is happening to stop this crap.
Aside from the racing crap, Steve is taking amazing abuse from some
people
about judging and trophies. If I were him there would definitely be a Do
Not
Return list. Some people should just stay away, or at least be barred
from
competing. (I hope he doesn't put me on that list)
