    I know, but its still so clean and pretty from Blanchardville. I didn’t kill any bugs on the way to or from the show! :laugh:

    You need bugs, it is a Badge of honor that you actually drove your car there.. :silly:

    I’m thinking Street Rods need a class: 1900-1932, 1933-1937, 1938-1948 always seems fair to me.

    The last few times I’ve been to QSL I’ve seen a couple guys wearing shirts that said “West Side Altar Boys”, I don’t know if this is a new club around or if its an old club that doesn’t exist anymore or if these two guys I see wearing the shirts are the only two members of that group.

    I also didn’t see the Wisconsin Summer Cruisers listed on there either…

    Didn’t there fearless leader abandon ship on them? :woohoo:

    A judge should never touch a car.

    There is a disclaimer on the thing you sign at Pardeeville that states that Judges may open doors to check out door jams and sills and that your doors need to be unlocked (I know they even announced it over the PA system a couple of times). But nothing about bouncing up and down on the seats…..

    The only reason they would do this is if there is tie. Then they look at door jams and go as far as to dock points if your wheel center caps don’t line up (like if the word FORD is on the cap).[/quote]

    My opinion, I still say it is wrong to touch a car…if they want the door jams judged leave the doors open!

    I mainly like to be there if they need me to open the doors, have questions, etc. I know when I have judged in the past, I don’t like to be bothered by the car owner. Had it happen at Blanchardville last year, guy had an old, filthy Chrysler and he wouldn’t leave me alone, just kept following me around and asking what I was marking down on the judging sheet…

    A couple years ago they had a judge at Pardeeville ?s car show. He would open the doors on cars and hop in look around, like WTF. He also got in to an argument with my friend that he had the wrong headlight rings on his 55 Crown Vic. He said he had owned many Vic’s and these were 56 ones on a 55. My friend told him where to get off, and thus he did not receive an award that he should have.

    That judge has not been back there. Kudos to Pardeeville :)

    A judge should never touch a car. If the owner is there ask them to open a door or hood if they want it judged. If its closed so be it…. :dry:

    Great idea, and I would like to see what car show organizers actually use it. But I also think getting unbiased judges is a key to making the participants happy. Without cars there will be no show. Some of these so called car event organizers have cut the throats of the car people one to many times already. Without mentioning names everyone knows who the bad ones are… :dry:

    Trailer Class would be a good one…

    But I was really thinking Unbiased Judges would be better. That will discourage you from attending any shows at least for me it does.

    I remember going to Wis Rapids one time for a show. Every car that won was from Rapids.. B) Oh I have not returned.

    Thinking about the Armory also. Close to home, and I see they added a trailered class. BRAVO But I’m sure you’ll still get the queens that like to hide their trailers down the street.. There should be a trailer patrol cruising the hood before the show..LOL :dry:
