When my friend had his CRX/S2000 conversion out there it was one of the best cars there and he didn't even place. I know I was a bit biased but I wasn't assured of the rigging the judgement until the year before lasts. A local guy who places first in almost all the car shows Longhorn/NOPI/HIN, he always runs the same weak ass 2 dr civic but manages to still get 1st every time. The car isn't even that great. I always noticed that guys from his shop or friends of the shop were judging the events. I knew it was rigged when at NOPI show and a buddy of mine was judging, we rolled over there in the first 350Z (stock) in San Antonio at that time. I told the judge, my friend Tommy Tran, about the car and he told me that he would hook us up. I thought that was pretty crappy that we one just cause it was a new stock car.
One thing about San Antonio there are a handfull of shops in San Antonio and they all have horror stories behind them. Nearly all of them haven't done more than cam swaps, litterally. I never recommend anyone in San Antonio because they all suck even most of the paint shops are poor quality. The only thing San Antonio has is a lot of good quality stereo shops, We have some of the best installers and box builders around... IMO.
