I don't think he made the second trip around the track.

They did a second lap. They just got it started before the time ran out. Sounds like it was just a fuel pump issue and nothing big.

Also I do know that there was and is a well qualified group of judges that consists of goodguys and builders.

It was an unbelievable field. That impala was super cool. So was the silver vette. I think 2 cars were dropped at auto x. One ran out of gas and one didn't have seat belts and failed tech. Anyone could argue for any one of almost the entire field to win. I can only imagine this must be something like a photo finish for the judges.

I agree completely, I think any of us could and would play favorites. Every one In the field had equal chance though.

That's good news then! BUT, adds even more question as to why they didn't make the top 5. THat 65 RS Stang was nice, but nothing out of this world like Recoil, the G3 69, Australian Nova, RS Charger, and the list goes on.

For me personally, I loved the DSE Charger and the Gray '62 Impala. On another note, I really can't believe the build costs on these cars. From "rumors", $350k to over a mil!! Where does it end? I thought I was crazy for what I spent on my DSE Trans AM, it would be on the lower end of that scale! Lots of nice ideas, fit and finish though.

I would hate to be a judge at this level.
How do you choose between these cars? It's like picking your favorite child I'm sure.
Some are more noticeably modified...while others are more subtle. Some have more cool gadgets, while some are "cleaner".
Do you like '32 Fords more, or '69 Camaros? Or, are '40 Fords your fav?
Do you like stacks...or the engine covered?
Shiny, or matte?

1 winner, 4 cars that easily could have been. And 20 more that easily could have played.
I would have nightmares! No thank you....

Since when is car show judging fair and impartial? (like never)

The beauty of Columbus is the level of talent and field of cars.

Had to delete my last post after thinking about this. DSE has way to much class to do something like that. Are you sure Tracy???

I was in correct in that statement, Someone from there crew said they were going to but they were just mad and wanted to, I was heading out the building when that statement was made, I didnt stick around to see if they actually did..Sorry for that, It wasnt Kyle that made the statement, someone else, My bad!
