Rick Yates said he heard from you there was no such class. The class 3 and 4 is what your people at the registration table wrote on Rick's and my sheets before we got them. Those were the sheets we were to put in our window.
There was zero information about the car show provided to me either before the event or at the event in terms of what classes there were, what class my car would be put in, who or how many were judging and so forth. I had never entered a car show before and care little about them in the overall scheme (except to admire the time people put into making their cars look sharp) so please understand I am not upset.
I have been to plenty of car shows as a spectator and my experience had been that each car was plainly labeled as to what class it was entered in. At your show, I was not even aware when exactly the cars were being judged.
Not pinging on you, Jason, as you had plenty of balls in the air getting done all you got done and I had a good time at the event. Did you get the CD of photos I mailed to you?
Jim
Jim, I dont recall telling Rick that there wasnt a SGT class. I may have missunderstood the question, but I knew there was an SGT class as i designed and ordered the trophies weeks prior. At my shows, we never play up the trophies. In my opinion, I want people to have a good time. If we have a budget for trophies then we get them. To clarify things I now understand what the #3 and #4 are, those are your rally sticker numbers aka your registration number or the order in which we recieved your check in the mail. That determined your rally number. The rally stickers did a variety of things, it let us know WHO was actually a paid participant, who's car was who's, and come judging time we knew who's car was who's.
I will tell you most show's dont operate the way we do ours. I usually have a select few judges selected for their automotive knowledge and/or dignatary and I let them select the winners. I personally hate a car show where friends vote for their friends cars instead of the car that actually should win. It's my spin on what I feel is the right way to do it. The criteria given to the judges was simple, what was cleanly build/designed and stood out to them. As you can see the clases were simple for the judges to distinguish. They are car experts and they knew exactly what cars went into each catagory.
I know your not upset Jim, but as a first time attendee to my events, i would only guess you might not know how we do things....plainly said we keep them simple and on time...with little MIC time...lol. Its ALL about the cars.

I did not hear it from Jason, there were two guys walking around the cars, one of them asked me what kind of car I had, I told them it was a SGT and he said there was no SGT class, He asked me if my car was a hertz and I said no, I told him I was in class three as thats what it says on my show card, I"am not upset either, I just want my items in the auction, soon, as the game tickets are for monday nite
Rick,
Im not sure who those two gentlemen were. But im glad you have a good time. As far as your auction items go, i think our mail man died. We have had no mail service for two days...god forbid. So I will be going to the Mustang nationals tomorrow up in the valley and will bring your stuff with me, or I will go as far as meeting you in LA on monday or putting your tickets in will call at the stadium. Things have been extremely hectic here since the event and im sorry your tickets slipped throught the cracks. OR, you could come down to my office on monday and i'd love to take you to lunch! How's that for a bargain? im only 30 mins from the stadium. Call my cell and let me know. 714-357-8264.
Hopefully this clears up any confusion and if not, please dont hesitate to ask. The worst thing ever is to be unclear about something and dont participate again because of it.
