I had a good question asked me by one of the owners of the cars judged. He noticed the judges writing down all the modifications on the daily drivers and felt he had points taken off for them. As stated the Daily drivers are judged on Cleanliness and Functionality. While a stock DeLorean is great, one that is kept functional is what they looked for . Example: If you had an original set of door struts but they did not work well you got credit for originals but deducted fairly heavily for poor function. If the replacements worked but were not original you received a lesser deduction for non original since the function of the car was what was being evaluated. An effort was needed to maintain the itegrety of the car. Replacement parts even if not original were not deducted heavily if at all but for example, put in a Craig stereo system with Huge rear speakers and we did take off. That belonged in a modified catagory. If you had bald tires they would have a deduction even if they were original. A car in the daily driver catagory with a turbo would have been deducted for because it is not maintained as an original daily dirver and the car belonged in the modified catagory. Lots of points were deducted for just dirt. Not detailing but hoseable dirt. Brake dust was not heavily deducted for on daily drivers. We also are using this show to try to even out the catagories. These judges are ISCA registered judges and judge mostly indoor events and are used to looking for the best car in each catagory. The judges are hired and are independent and are also not associated with anyone in the DeLorean arena. We have decided to go with 4 judges next time and have trained two more individuals at this show to help in the next show so the judging will go faster. Both judges on the cars judged the whole car not just sections then conferred with each other for a final score. Hope that clears up the judging. I will do a better job describing the judging next time. You guys are really critical LOL Most car shows I enter I have no idea what they are looking for and go just for the fun. It means you take your care seriously and so do we. Your cars were all looked at closely no exceptions. By the way I did talk to the judges today and they stated that the cars at the Cleveland show were far cleaner and in better condition than at Cincinnati. So keep up the good work and see you in Memphis. Judging is difficult and hard to be consistant on cars that have a lot of sublte differences but are all basically the same. I feel the judges I am using are some of the best and would like to take this opportunity to thank Dave and Lou for a job well done. Ken
