I love going to OUSCI! It's a great place to see outstanding cars get hammered.
I was thinking while watching the event that it's interesting to think you can objectively pick a winner at an event when there is a subjective portion of the judging. I agree with your opinion on the design segment! And I agree with whoever said it should be a separate award or eliminated altogether. Personally I think it should be separate to recognize someone who has really gone above and beyond to put together something exceptional. I love having the opportunity to see a mustang that was never built by Ford up close and personal, much less put through the paces at a racing event.
More importantly, Matt you were a winner before you arrived at the event! Your car has been at SEMA two or three times?? And you had the opportunity to compete in an event most of us will NEVER get to participate in. No matter what the scorecard or judges may say, you performed better than any of us key-strokers did simply by showing up. So congrats!
