Re: DeLorean Car Show



This subject comes up every time so Its appropriate I think at this time for 
me to comment on the Judging at the DeLorean Car Show

This time again we have the two ISCA judges we have used before. They really 
have a handle on our cars now and the daily driver catagories have had some 
modifications as to what and how they judge the cars and that is posted on my 
web page <A HREF="http://deloreancarshow.com";>deloreancarshow.com</A>. 

The Concourse event is different.

I chose to use DMC Millenium concourse after I did my own at Cincinnati. 
After being in many major events like ISCA shows where my car is judged 
against others in my class and listening to the judges I felt the Millenium 
judging was the fairest. It is judged by our piers mainly members of the 
DML. These are all people that "WANT" to be a part of the event and about as 
neutral bunch that I have ever seen. It also allows the financial burden 
for the Concourse to be shifted to DMC Houston and they choose the prizes and 
have developed the handbook. This handbook is a guide that says that this 
is what they are going to look for. It is the most complete book I have seen 
on the DeLorean so far. 
Will it be revised?

I am sure as they learn more about the dates changes were made to the car as 
documention is found or the number of cars found with a particular change 
they will adjust the rules accordingly. Most of the guidelines are easy to 
understand and follow. It is an excellent book and I have been very pleased 
with the judging at The DeLorean Car Show. 

Whenever something is judged it will always be subjective to a degree. What 
we are developing now is a standard that will lock in those criteria and in a 
few years we will be able to say this is it. 

And I think the current version is very close.

I hope we see a lot of concourse cars in the future 
at least we have a target to shoot for.

Knut is right when he says he spends a half hour per car 
I wish he didn't at the St Louis show 
maybe he wouldn't have found so many things on my car LOL
But the judges do care and they do their best and I think we have a good crew
My thanks to them and everyone who volunteers their time to the DeLorean 
cause making these the best events they can be.

What I like is that the cars are not judged by one group or company that 
could be biased because someone is a customer or friend.
I know all of the judges and DMC Houston and if anything they were harder on 
me than anyone else. Just as in a court we are being judged by our piers and 
we all have chosen the DML as our means of communicating. These are the 
people judging the concourse.

If you don't have a concourse car then this article is either boring or 
ammusing.

There is alway room to improve 
criticism and praise will always follow 
but the determination and commitment is what counts 

See you all in Memphis

We have well over 200 event registrations so far. Well over Cincinnati and 
closing in on Cleveland.

As far as stats
we added Iowa and a few other states along with more of our England 
counterparts.

Surprisingly the Illinois group is leading the way. They already have more 
coming than were in Cleveland.

Mid Atlantic Group Eastern Regional DeLorean Run 12 where are you??????? 
Third in the group registrations so far, (Cleveland is second, Europe is 4th)

Without saying I have put a lot of time into this show and I think it will 
show 
Hope you all enjoy 
There are many more children (early teens)coming to this event than the last 
two so it is becoming more of a family event.

Does anyone know where 2004 is going to be held????????

Curtis called the other day and says he has made some more changes to his 
car.
Can't wait to see them.

Ken
