rotarfest winners?
 

by no means is this bashing winner I WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR.


but, why did the winner win?

where did 2nd and 3rd lose points at?

Hey I was suprised myself, but I got to say I do drive a CLEANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN ass 8!

^ LOL

Congrats again Edgar!!!

@Heeroguy
when you let the public vote, It turns in to a popularity contest.....
when u have judges......Winners win because of different taste.......

In the end no one is ever really happy......lol..
I just go and enjoy catching up with old friends..... everything else is a bonus

AMEN Dennis! that's the only reason I went, to catch up with everyone and appreciate the difference in everyone own unique style..

Thanks again D!

Oh I had a great time. And am in no way upset. Just curious. The 3Rd place guy tough. He is pissed. And I thought he was gonna win.

I went expecting nothing and got second in rx 8 and like 4-5 overall so was happy as shit

that's one bad 8 especially with the two-tone! congrats again!

Yes I'm not going to lie I was very up set coming in third. Only because I guess I put some much work into the car for this event. Shit I just got the bitch running Saturday. Both 1st and 2nd were awesome cars, and like Dennis said, when you have judges there taste determines the winner. And trophies etc are def just bonuses to a great well put together event, where we as a rotary community were able to come together to share our passion. Seeing friends and their cars and how far they've come from over the years was an awesome experience and that's what it was about for me.

agree with ya . your car i was sweating, and to be honest kept walking around it trying to look for flaws without making it seem like i was being a dick.

and hear ya on the work i spend easily 40 hours last week, buffed it, polished it, put a dupont paint protection on it, put a sealer over that, and 2 coats of wax, redid all trim, engine bay wheel wells etc etc etc. but was worth it cause my baby was shinning =)

but i was doing that cause to me you were my biggest competition.
granted first place forget his name sorry bud. was cool as shit and we talked for a good bit. his car was ultra clean. but i assumed the judges were looking for more than stock. but as a stock 8 his won hands down. i didnt care what place i got. i just wanted that trophy as it was the coolest trophy i have ever seen.

and only reason i brought this up wasnt to start a issue. i was just curious what i lost points on and what judges were looking for. and thats it.

and if you guys have never seen any sick rotaries drag race. you have to see some it was an amazing experience the sounds and explosions those cars made was just unreal and easily the best part of the day.

that veilside rx7 didnt hamper matters =)

and for what it matters omar i was sweating big and imo you shoulda go second, but cant change the past unfortunaly. also if i woulda had another $50 in my pocket that sway bar woulda been sold lol

Lets see a picture of all 3 cars from this past weekend and I"ll let you know which is the 'best'. ;)

Yea this thread needs pics ASAP please!

^ most of the pics are being posted here rotorfest2012 pic/vids thread - RX7Club.com

pic of 1st place trophy? I want to see

Attachment 230733

the rotor housing with the rotor is the 1st place winner

oh yeah ... I know the guy who made them ... owns an ls1 miata lol

I didnt even know the show was being judged with trophies. I didn't even wash my car... I was just happy to park inside with a whole ton of awesome cars. Ive gone to plenty of events like that but always parked outside and walked in.

I took a bunch of pics and am about to upload them. Most of them are of FDs though cuz Ive always wanted one and love the way they look. Just a warning. That red one with the Recaros and blacked out engine bay was amazing.

This. No pictures of RX-8's in the RX-7club thread.

Did your ride is sweet in person had a good time maybe next year I will have a rx8 to roll in with the rx7

Thanks bro def!!!!

a car with (what appears to be) stock body, stock wheels, and stock suspension won 1st place at a car meet/ show? :scratchhe

Exactly, "What appears to be", Looks can be deceiving! It's all good, I'm enjoying the chit chat......

It doesnt matter if you win by a dirt spec, water stain, or carbon build up on your tips... Winning is winning!!!











.....and you all won ahahah

lol i can top that with my car dying and not wanting to start 11 minutes away from rotor fest... and then Ray fixing my car....and washing my car the night before from 11:30 - 2:30am :smoker: cant forget about the maf gasket i made out of electrical tape to get my car to not stall after 4 seconds.

I got in the top 50, along with my friend danny who has a 05 BB with chrome $100 rims and an AP exhaust.

judging was really whack.

A lot of people were walking by my car which i thought was pretty cool, i didnt think i would get any attention seeing as i was stock looking, but i guess not.

Met a lot of friendly people and caught up with friends. Hung out with my gf and watched some pretty fast chainsaws go down the strip. rotor fest= success.

My car will be worthy to enter next year. Big events like this are pretty fun. Wish they happened more often. I had a good time.

Dude I want you to know I dont want you to take anything I posted personal. If you read I gave your car respect as yourself as well. I was expressing my feelings on the judging period... Its all Love man.

Nothing taken personal Brother! I know you did, someone else posted "stock RX8" which didn't bother me but I was just making the point clear, " what seems to be stock" I've dumped some $$$ as well, I just started from the inside out exterior appearence will be somethng of the future...

Omar I got much respect for you and your whip and I've gone to the events (E-Town, Wall Township) to show support as well as I would do for the other 8 owners..

Thanks again.... & thanks to all who showed some love... :tear:

One last say, We're all winners at the end of the day, after owning these tempermental, gas guzzling, oil burning, money hungry machines!!

^^^ Care to share what's not so stock about your car for us that weren't at the event. :dunno:

I'm not hating, just wondering whacha done to the car.

i think its funny, heroguy got so much crap after he painted his car (ive seen it in person and it looks good) and he placed at rotorfest. gd job larz

down pipe? u haz turbo? or do you mean midpipe?

Sorry about that, correction has been made MID pipe.... LOL...

Fixed

:rollingla:rollingla:rollinglaTruth to that!

Hey D! anymore rolling shots?

i still dont like how it doesnt match up with the front bumper grille. Also dont like how it looks like the front emblem was just ripped off and the holes were still in the bumper.

judge had selective blindness when he was judging.

shoulda seen the face book post, i was refered to as "that piece of shit red and black that got second"

it's all good i love my car and could care what anyone thinks, i think it looks great and after all the cleaning and waxing she shined like a mother F'r.

but yea i did get ALOT of shit haha

emblem im fixing just didng get to get a new one after the old got ruined.

Dude you car looked like it just rolled off the fucking lot. crazy!!!:SHOCKED::SHOCKED::SHOCKED:

I feel ya with the modZz. I was just so confused bc I have a lot of the similar. :kiss:

Papi they should of have your own separate trophy for that piece of ART:bowdown::bowdown::bowdown: I always thought your car was the Shizzle, Hey, I'm willing to have my own ceremony and pass it on to you... Again Brother much respect for you and for what you have done with your car.. I remember meeting you for the first time at E-Town when we were at the "Speed Junkies" open track day and your car was an inspiration..

Anyone else who wants the trophy were gonna have to throw on the gloves and step into the ring for a :spank:
