A lot of politics in these decisions somettimes. It's not always about the best cars. They have to give some awards to the people who help them pay the bills.

Judging is also about opinion and what the judge likes personally, I for one liked the picks, wasn't the common Ring Brothers, Dse picks.

The corvette is a cool car and deserving of the pick. I would have picked the blue roadster shop corvette for a top 5 also. but that's just me

we would all pick differently

In a field of stunning cars, the white corvette that won was the most stunning. The design, fit, and finish is what made it the best amongst the best.
Remember that the results were determined by a group of (uninvolved) professional car builders with many years of experience who actually attended the show and examined the cars.

A lot of times the features you don't see are more impressive than the ones staring you in the face, screaming look at me!. I haven't seen any of these cars in person but I suspected all along this was probably the case with this years SMOTY.

Ah, "Snowblind" the white Camaro. We ran into some paint issues that we wernt happy about so it was stripped and repainted, a slight detour in its planned debut! The good news is its back together and will be at West Coast Nationals in Pleasanton. EBMC was represented in Columbus though, as 2 of the top 5 SMOTY's were equipped with a EBMC/Keefer Design fuel filler. Proud to have played a small role in those incredible cars!

That sucks about the paint.
