I also really don't get your position, Bill. At Chicago, there were pleny of cars that didn't get "judged".. the judges asked for everyone in the tent area to either (a) be at your car to open the doors when they come around, or (b) just leave your doors open. If the doors were closed, you didn't get judged. And if you're so sure you're not going to win any awards, either (a) tell the judges to skip your car when they come around, (b) leave a sign on the windshield to that effect, (c) keep your doors closed and locked, or (d) just don't worry about it. So what if your car is judged? If you're not there, you won't even know. If you are there, you can ask them to skip your car. As Ken said, it's great to have as many cars inside as possible, and he's even given you the option of leaving so you don't get stuck inside. It's not like at the end of the show there's this big list posted of all the judged cars in order of condition or points. Nobody will even know which cars were judged and which ones were not. So what's the big deal? -Hank #1619 On Feb 2, 2008 11:00 AM, content22207 <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > No, judging is not voluntary. If you come indoors, you get judged -- > period.
