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.
