  I want to let everyone know how blessed I was to work with most likely the best team of judges I've ever had the pleasure of working with.
You guys did a fantastic job! Every owner whose car you'd judged should be confident they'd received both a thorough and very fair inspection.
I truly hope to work with you guy once again.
Quite sincerely,
Mike "Kube" Kubarth

Good to hear some positive comments. I have been to some events where the judges were not well received.

  Yeah Joe,
I understand your sentiment exactly.
These guys truly did a great job. I can't stress enough how thorough and fair they were.
I must also thank the owners who with only one exception were gracious. I always have a wonderful time interacting with the owners. Learning of their "trials & tribulations" (we've all been there!) and when I am able, offering advice, leads, etc. so they may make better their project for the next show.

It is unfortunate - as you have eluded to, that is not always the case.
We did have one car, a red coupe (yes, red) that had previously received a Dearborn award. It was judged fairly, in fact generously, at this show and barely broke 800 points.
If that is not testament for the need to offer at least some training to judges, I am out of examples...

All in all, a great group of judges and a great group of owners... Thanks to all who made this an enjoyable experience.
