If I'm understanding the scoring system and making one assumption that JF got all 15 points then he only got 5.7 points from the judges. I think my assumption is fair that he met most of the street car requirements as the car has plenty of stuff on it so its not like its lacking anything or was not intended to be a street car. I doubt they took points away for the perfect paint.
So under that assumption it only scored 5.7 out of 10 points. That seems kinda thin. Are those judges judging on their personal taste only? If so I would say they did not like any of the cars at the event. If all cars got 15 points then Most cars probably scored 2 - 3 points out of 10 from the judges. That does seem pretty harsh. Taste in a car is pretty subjective, Everyone likes different things and just because someone likes different stuff does not make them wrong. It just makes them different. Sure we might laugh at their different, but that is reality. Heck some guys like Fat chicks.
They could award points in a descending order with the most liked car getting top points and the bottom car getting the least. It would harsh to say, you car is the worst, but so is being the slowest guy. Somebody has to be the slowest and least liked.
I had a great time at the event and enjoyed using the car for more then we ever really intended. Except for the road rally portions. This Chevelle has nearly 4000 miles on it and my 1 year daughter loves to ride in the car and laughs when we I get on it. The event motivated my customer to want to make some changes to the car to possibly do some more track events next year with the car. ( stiffer springs ) During the road rally, my wife sat in the back seat and Georgia was in the front in here car seat, and we had the windows down and the drove straight now the strip on Saturday night. It was a good time.
