For those that don't know, each class in the car show was judged by a set of three judges in three areas: interior, exterior, and engine. There are 10 categories in each area worth 10 pts each for a total of 100 pts per area and 300 pts total. Any car that scored over 280 points in the show judging was automatically re-judged for the Gold Medallion/Gold Cup award. Each of those cars was gone over again by three very experienced judges in the areas. At the end of that the highest scoring car in either stock or modified won the Gold Medallion and Gold Cup. (The Gold Medallion/Gold Cup is totally separate from the 'car show' competition. In fact, the Gold Medallion winner did not win his class during the show itself) In regular show judging my total score was 289, with a perfect 100 in both interior and engine (thus the best engine and best interior awards)... the guy who judged my exterior for the show really raked me over the coals as I lost all 11 points there. In the Nissan Modified Z32 class, where I was competing, the 2nd place car scored 287. Third place (the infamous Bonnie) scored 278. For the Gold Cup, I scored a total of 290 (yes 1 point better, with more seasoned judges), losing 4 points on exterior, only 1 point on interior, and 5 points on engine. Paul @ Avalon is a tough cookie ;-) The Gold Cup is competing against ALL modified cars, regardless of model. There is no second place, but the next best score was a '72 240 with a score of 286. Interestingly the Best of Show award went to the highest composite score of all cars during the show judging, which was a Z32 that scored 295. Had the show judge that did my exterior been consistent with my Gold Cup exterior judge in scoring, I would've been about 296. Oh well ;-) Cant' win'em all. Anyway, thought some of you might like to know. It was my first judged car show and was certainly an enlightening experience. I never really knew how all this stuff worked before.
Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy, and good with mustard.
