Yeah, thats what they need..lol

Not this year though, I'm doing the TFBM autocross on Sunday.

Ron (Pacer) and those guys at the Camaro Club do put on a good show from what I've seen - I'll have to check it out sometime.

Your car looks pretty damn good for a 22 year old car George! I 'm sure it could out handle quite a few cars on this board without any trouble.

Have to see how it goes at the TFBM autocross tomorrow - going to be hot as hell, should get lots of grip and they've set up a nice open course for the big cars. Entry fee is $10 for TFBM members which is a damn good deal and a good reason to join that club.

another year has come and gone, and it was the same ol sh*t

bullcrap winners wrong classifications accidents almost happening on the cruise..

not a very good show, I suggest to not attend this show.
very poorly put together.

less cars this year (and probably with what happened this year, will dwindle alot more next year)

ron, i hope you dont take this to heart, i keep tryin to give you guys the benefit of the doubt. but, the one person who does NOT deserve the wins somehow comes out on top and this year...has ALOT of people pissed..

How can someone win a stereo competition without going through and getting judged on every aspect of the judging..hmm..i know know $$$

sorry, i will NOT be returning, nor will alot of the participants that i spoke with at the end of the show

this is not a baby tantrum...i did take home best graphics, although i didnt accept it...its just what i noticed

never enter a show for an award only but if that sort of thing is going on it's definately aggrivating and something that is important to many which should be looked at. to have a nice show and expect people to pay extra for awards then they need to be treated as such. if the awards were free then that's a different story and you can't expect much.

sorry i missed it, was looking forward to meeting alot of you. there's always www.camarosuperfest.com if you want to check out another large camaro show.

unfortunately judging is much more important then what so many are said to believe. just with anything there are always alot of politics involved and with it comes human error and emotion. you can't please everyone which many know. it's the ones that just shouldn't be... that's what's wrong.

jeff,

i knew that i wouldnt be bringing home any hardware this year. The class that i was in was just too tough (having 2 cars at least with killer engine bays) and i was fine with that. I was also fine with how they handled the show...*applauds the occ*
what i wasnt fine with is the bs the judges (not all only some) pulled this year as every year and letting a certain car coast through and win 5 awards again.
3 points of a stereo comp as explained BY THE JUDGES were as follows

1.spl (main part most points)
2.sound quality
3.install

A vehicle (which has been mentioned before) didnt go through the spl portion of the stereo competition but still managed to BEAT 4 OTHER CARS.
Judges are people too, they make mistakes, but, when something as blatant as this is done, you cant get the bad taste out of your mouth.

The said vehicle also won best paint (there were many other cars that deserved that award over him) mine EXCLUDED.
I read my posts, and i did sound like a spoiled brat...im not pissed because i didnt take home anything...i actually did take something home (didnt actually accept it to prove a point but still took it on paper) for best graphics.

Trophies mean alot, no matter what people say, hey they are bragging rights. BUT if i dont get any..meh..i dont care, i enjoy the company of friends (although there wasnt many this year and i now know the ones i thought were "aquaintances" are backstabbers..) thats another point in itself....

good show, bad points and good points, as of now, i have decided to NOT return, but who knows, i am normally a sucker for punishment, so i may be dumb and return..who knows, im still rather hot about the subject, i have 363 days to think it over.
