The only negative that I think worth mentioning was when the awards were given out, many of the people were given awards without knowing what car was theirs. I knew only about 1/3 of the people/cars competing so I had a hard time following what car they were giving an award to/for.I had the orange Mustang.
Thanks to all who voted for me, it was quite a surprise.

It woulda been really cool if somehow they snapped pics of the cars they were announcing and had them on the big screen. I do understand that this would require a little more work, so it's just a thought

It was a blast competing for the first time, definitly a different mind set than just showing up at the show. For the Criticism, there were a couple cool displays and I don't understand how the mustang trac pak beat us for best display, but to eaches own I guess, I wasn't there for the award so it wasn't that big of a deal.

Judges taking pics mightve given away who won possibly? just a thought? Every Big car show is like this. Shit, at HIN Scott Blodgett won best Honda Other.... with 74 awards, that must be a hassle, I think Jason did a great job! -

Lambo didn't do anything for me....nice car, just not a show car IMHO.NSX....GOD IS THAT CAR FUCKING AWFUL! If you have to ask why, you really shouldn't comment on cars ever again. Ever.....but for those that were wondering what I didn't like about it: Fitment of kit...there had to be 1" of gap difference from the drivers to passengers side of the trunk/hatch/engine cover. The body kit also had a fair amount of damage associated with daily driving. At least 2 wheels had substantial curb damage. I like the concept, but the implementation sucked.
lowrider & minitrucks were a nice change I thought. Not my thing necessarily, but diversity is good.
Best car of the show (aside from the S2K): Cindy's Lightning or Stenslands STi....though the APS turbo kit seemed a bit goofy to me the way it installs
I agree the nsx kit fit horribly....i think i'd pic the blue sti over stenslands though, almost the same kit, blue one had way nicer more agressive wheels and more aftermarket interior parts, but lacked the cosworth long block is all..

Funny think about Car Craft is that it is in the cities, not Fargo. You are not figuring in the 7 hours of drive time round trip as well as the cost of fuel, lodging, food, etc. Comparing Car Craft to P10 is silly.- you're

Can I ask how the judges are picked for an event like this?Drunkest ones still able to stand by the time the show is supposed to start :drunken_smilie:
Actually, TM selects the judges based on their own criteria. Usually (I'm assuming) it is people who are familiar with car shows and have been attending/showing for a number of years and those who they feel are least likely to show any form of bias.

Fair enough. Thanks for the input.

I get handed the award sheet at 10:15pm, and it had car numbers and names. OOPS! I went through as many of them as I could and wrote down car info, but I didn't have enough time to get everyone's car info down. I agree that always sucks when a car wins, and many don't know who the winner was. That was an error that we normally don't encounter!
Thanks to everyone for the support and help. There are a lot of things that need to be in place to make the show go off, and it isn't something I, nor anyone could do single handed. So thanks to everyone that helped from big to small.

I know that one of the judges was the guy from Canada that owns the black and red widebody G35. The last couple years he has taken home the Best Of Show awards amongst other classes best.

Tintmasters, I want to thank you for the opportunity to be a judge. Although it was a lot of work ,I wouldnt hesitate to do it again.
On behalf of the judges, we appologize for awards. Just so you know, we had a time contraint of 2 min per car. so there were some administrative details that we didnt even think of. It is alot harder than you realize and anyone who has ever judged would agree. The owner of the widebody G35 had alot of insight and gave us two some great advice
as far as the outcomes of the awards, 95% of the awards were unanimous amongst all 3 judges. There were some categories that were very close but even under the time contraint we did not want to rush our decisions.

I think it was a great show.
The 8hour(one way) drive up was well worth it to come up for the weekend.
I loved the K swap row and the sick wire tucks, along with all the other very nice and well built cars.
Models looked good, bikini contest was ok. Good looking girls, they just didnt seem to have the energy to get the crowd going, etc.
The group of us that came up from here had a fun time cruising around also. I don't know many of the people that we were cruising with besides Freitag, but even though I have a beat up civic hatch, everyone was saying it was sweet that I was rockin' a D in it. Still trying to figure out why. :icon_scratch:
Thanks to TM for putting on the show. I know I will be back up next year, probably with a few more people again.
