David, you already got coverage on MotorMavens. What you complaining about

Naw, but I am honored to read that though.. I know my car isn't everyone's taste, but did put some time and some blood into it. But, I was surprise your car didn't win anything this year, David! I might have to pick better judges for next year's DGRR

Phil I love your car, I have more pictures of it that I need to post up as I did take a ton of the event. The MB paint has always been my favorite, hopefully I will have my own rotary to bring to the event next year.

Saw that and I appreciate it brother

Phil, Ricj says I wasn't eligible to win anything this year. Had I known that, I would have kicked back and enjoyed the ride instead of trying to keep that massive pollen off of the car.

David, Next year, its going to be all out ultimate competition... Everyone will be allow to win, including me

Also, I'm going to have a point system and make those guys fill it out. I'm sure its going to be close one next year for one who takes the winning spot!!

Unfortunately, no I won't be at Formula D I have a wedding that day to attend so I will miss this year. Probably head to Vegas when they have their event if I have the money.

Will post up the rest of your car later Phil.

David, if you are really that concerned about winning an award then PM me your address and you can have mine. Awards aren't important, hanging out with fellow members of the rotary community and driving hard on nice roads are what really matter to me.

Just kidding around Dan. We could swap awards, I'll send you mine from last year. You got the important part right, it's hanging out with fellow rotor heads and seeing all of the cool cars. Driving the roads this year was a blast.

I like the idea of everyone stepping it up for show competition next year (not that I can think of anything that needs to be improved in any of your cars). Should be a treat for the rest of us.

By the way, I would like to state that the car show issues aren't the fault of the judges, but me as an organizer. I was very unclear of the rules and also short amount of time I've given to the judges. All the judges were well qualified, leaders in the rotary community, fantastic at judging the cars, and they did an amazing job in short amount of time given to them!
I apologize for my earlier statement, in which it might of perceived that I was blaming the judges... as I realized now, its mainly due to lack of information I've given and lack of organization of the event. Next year, hopefully all will be better and better rules will be set. We all learn from our mistakes.

lol, that's what I was thinking. No way I could ever get to that level in a year (or two). I'll just "go to show" but not to compete.
