Before I began, I would like to apologize for the way car show was handled.

I have had several people not quite satisfied with the way the car show was handled and for the next year, it will be handled in the following manner.

1. Judges will go through a training on how to judge a car show
2. Car show will be judged in following area using point scoring system.

*Show car form will be given out at the registration and it must be on your car*
**Top 5 cars from each categories will be judged again by different judge(s)**
***In case of tie(s), following category score will be looked at to determine the winner - 1. Overall Appearance. If tied: 2. Total Exterior Body Score. After that, 3. Engine total score... and then 4. Interior.***

3. New categories will be created when more than 10 cars are present (example if 10 or more 20B cars are signed up by a month before the event)

4. New categories such "Best Engine Bay", "Best Exterior Mods", "Best Stance", and "Best Stock" will be created.

5. Best of show winner can not win 2 consecutive years as Best of Show nor qualified to win 1st place. 1st place winner can win 1st place and Best of Show following year. Also Best of the show winner will be asked to be a judge following year.

6. Parking issues will be resolved.. I know parking was a mess because of the location and people not moving their cars.. A night before, we will make sure people who's parking in the lot will move next morning by 8:30.. If you can't wake up by then, we will ask you to park across the lot. Since people don't take these things serious without penalty, If your car is not moved by 9AM, I will call a tow service and get the car towed at your expense. NVNC is a private lot and early warning is given when signed up, and at the lodge when you check in. Also, if not moved, we will find out who you were and you will be banned for DGRR the following year.

These are just few steps in which we will take so the event goes smoother next year.

Again, I apologize for the way the car show portion went and how the outcome came about...

I like the idea of "Best Stock" for the people smart enough to leave a really fine car alone.
As a general noob for these things, I'm always a bit confused as to what to do for the judging. Do I stand by the car? Leave the hood open? Doors unlocked? Windows open? Most of my alterations are not readily visible (as I prefer it that way), so how do the judges know about them? I made up a list of the changes and put it on the windshield, but dunno if that's appropriate or even looked at. Cleanliness is a bit of a toughie with people coming from widely varying distances and weather with no hose or washing facilities readily available on-site. There's only so much one can do with spray bottles and rags. Perhaps next year you could give addresses of sort-of-nearby car washes and such for people unfamiliar with the area. (Parts store and Mazda dealer locations might also be useful in case of unanticipated problems).
Just some thoughts - there were plenty of fine rotary cars there so picking just a few from the pack is always gonna be highly subjective. My goal isn't winning trophies, it's to meet and chat with other rotorheads and have my car to at least not be an embarrasment to the others. No complaints from me on how things went last weekend!

Good question..

Next year, there will be a specific form associated with the car show.

You will fill out the form including your mod list and the judges will look for the list... To speed up the process, we'll have it ready for you when you register for the event so you could pre-fill out the form and bring it with you or fill it out at the event if you forgot to fill it out.

Again, We are going to take this car show thing bit more serious and have a tally of all the winners and feature them on the new DGRR website...
