Excellent result Steve! My baby will be with Colin anyway (I hope) so put me down for the Sat judging matey

Scotty

LOL....you will never please everyone mate, but it is the best way to do it.

Good decision
Kell

Were for saturday as well

Just a thought, How are you going to let everyone know about the pre judging??? As it is not on the entry form. Perhaps for the ones that have entered already send them an email. But good idea for the ones that can make it to be jusdged on the Saturday, will certainly make the Sunday judging a lot quicker and easier.

hi cliff
we are at present doing up some flyers for all entrants from last year and then posting it to them with an entry form explaining the pre judged on the saturday as well as some criteria for judging as well should be finilased by end of the week good suggestion about email we have those details as well
also we will be informing all the car clubs as well either by email or pm or posting on ther sites
hope this answers your question

I like the question and the answer

When we have our mailout shortly we can back it up with an e-mail, we have all of last years entrants e-mail addys & its free

Cheers

Steve

G'day all
How's the cops been with this show in previous years? I'm sussing out all the angles here so if I do enter, I have a 'happy' day I'd prefer not to tow her, but will if it's a safer option. I'm with judging on Sunday only - that'd be my preference

Hi Carly (I persume)

The past two annual events have been SAPOL happy, we are trying to create an appreciation for Commodore's and their owners (the reason for entrants with plenty of cash thrown at there commodore's on show) unlike the publicity currently in the media.

Year 1 2007 @ Cheltenham racecourse SAPOL in attendance and contacted me after the event appreciating the efforts of entrants and organisers.
Year 2 2008 @ Birdwood Museum SAPOL in attendance and contacted the Museum staff with accolades for entrants and organisers.

At ACD we are a non profit organisation and have in previous years donated plenty of cash to worthwhile Adelaide charities and we intend doing the same this year.

I am currently looking at another team of 3 judges for the HDT/HSV catagories so the judging scores are not conficting to the judges doing the factory models, this seems to suit everyone I have spoken to lately (and will minimise the logistic issues?)

Cheers

Steve

i like that idea with the extra judges for the HSV/HDTs too

I spose I could give ya's a hand steve if needed.Not in the auto industry inany way but have been in and attended heaps of shows to know whats a winner and whats not.

So theres two catagories of judging (Fully Judged - i guess thats external, boot, engine bay, interior, undercarriage?) and (External Only - as the car sits, judged only on exterior)

Now, i guess fully judged cars have greater chance of getting trophies etc than the external only judged cars? Is there any bias between the two? I guess fully judged cars would get more points than the exterior only cars which would place those cars in higher contention for a trophy? Having said that, though you could still pick up points if exterior only car was judged as fully judged even though its interior ect is standard?

Can someone please explain how this works? ACD is potentially my first proper car show after lots of TLC so just want to know how cars are judged and what category would be best.

Thanks!

all car shows are diff and depending on judges for example smasa judges are trained to look for certien things iam not saying what coz that a secret where if u go to anthore car show the judges will judge diff

iam curious why u cant go fully judged at least u would be rewarded more points
