I didn't have a camera, sorry. Plus I was a little tipsy near the end of the show. I just got so bored. ![Smilie](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Was good seeing most of you. I was going to approach you LBC TRD, but you were sitting in your car and on the phone. Didn't wanna bother ya.
Anyway, Elaine and I had fun even though there weren't many spectators. In fact, everyone walking around probably had a show car. Basically, entry fee was too damn expensive but it was probably the most fierce competition I've seen to date. Our BMW champion only got 3rd! I'm just happy we won team. Oh, and the fact that Bucky stayed at the show a lot longer than I expected. That was fun.

There were so many nice Z's at that show. Ive never seen so many nice cars in one building since SEMA. Congratulations Mr. B!
Btw, who took 1st was it the Style King Z or Jada Toy Z or someone else?

It was a great show (too bad there wasnt alot of spectators). It was nice seeing and meeting some old and new faces.
Mr.B and Big Black Track congrats again. Im gald that the 350Z was well represented.
Jason thanks for showing us your fly wheel all I can say is holly ish. Also thanks for the suggestion on the high flow cats.
It was also cool talking to Albert and Lee from Team Showcase. There nice guys and their team is top notch.
I think the Art N Motion 350z one first place. I know his name is Brett and I think hes the one who got first.
Anyways it was a great show alot of nice Z's. A few nice models too.

They usually won't release their judging notes unless you're pretty tight with someone in charge.
Thanks for the congrats! I really was surprised to even get a trophy with all the tough competition! I think I should trade mine with bbbt though.![Wink](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)
The Art N Motion Z owned by Brett was the one that won. I knew he'd get first place, if not Nissan Showoff, from the moment he drove the car to the show. That car is pretty crazy.
I say we all meet up one day and just hang out. Besides, it'd be a pretty scene just seeing a handful of really nicely fixed up Z's. Sorry I didn't get to meet you Jason. I went outside to talk to Jeff and ran back inside cuz it was too damn cold!![Wink](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Anyway, keep me posted if you guys wanna meet up.

I don't see why? Its after the fact. The show over. Unless it's to hide some internal politics. As a new comer to the import scene, I'd like to see how I did against ALL the cars not just against the Z's, This information should be made public by the promoters so we know the show is on the up and up and not a popularity contest for a few insiders.
I run shooting competitions for some 3 hundred compeditors and we always post the results of the first place to the last place finishers. They have the sheets, we paid the $50 whats the problem.
I'm not saying the winners didn't deserve to win,because they cleaner put in the time and money, I'm saying I'd like to know what my numbers were ,against the class winner numbers and the overall winners #s
Were the judges a part of the promoting organisation or independent or buddies of the winners.? The Nissan judges were pretty young and seemed to be very tired by the time they got to our cars.
If you have any pull with the promoters and the #s are still available My car was #567 Jeffs was 566 and Jasons was 568
Pm me the results if you can get them thanks

welcome to the real world of car judgingg... its currupted
the Nissan wasnt bad this time though... but you'll understand once you show more.. its always about who you know 90% of the time.. none of the shows have really figured a way around this yet.. i was actually talking to a friend of mine (lisa that owns the white supra) about this last night and no matter what, if you get "independant" judges than they know nothing and everyone gets pissed, you get judges that know about cars than everyone gets pissed cause they're connected to some someone or car club.. ken (the guy that runs showoff) even says he is tired of the judging and still waiting on someone to figure out a good way to do it cause everyway that has been tried so far someone is pissed about it or it doesn't work out right.
Not saying the judging on the Nissan class was bad this time as like we have all said there was hella competition and could have gone anyway in my opinion between the 1-3rd places.. remember each show judges different also, showoff goes for more of a overall complete car to win.

I'm not pissed off, far from it, I learned a lot and will do better in other shows. The competition was tough. When BBBT gets 3rd, you know it's tough. Big bucks to win a little trophy... It's about the people who appreciate a nice car to bad we didn't see to many of them.
looking forward to seeing you guys again in the near future.
