ahahah, i guess the judge couldn't find the turbo, and they thought that those piping were flashy piping, or intake piping, not functional, LOL...
i think it's supported by the bird **** on the side....

Guys, sorry about what happened. I picked the Mazda dealer to be judges so it can be fair with no favoritism and it seems that the results were still the same, people not being happy.
I cannot control what the judges think. Even though the scorecard is 0-10 it is still left to the individuals feeling on what they put down. We are all human with our own likes and dislikes. If you notice our guy with the clean fully restored orange RX-3 SP didn’t win anything.
Maybe next year I will try to get better judges from another source, but until then. We can use this experience as a foundation to build a better show by providing me with some feedback.
I still hope most of you enjoyed it.

judging was more to be desired. disapointing results as we made the trip from the NJ/NY area....
Would LOVE to hear the reasoning behind this... honestly that truely kills the spirit of meets/events/shows.

Wow thanks for support guys on my RX-8 (the blue one that the blind judges picked). Obviously no one took a good look if you think my car is bone stock. Sorry I like subtle and classy modifications. Apparently the judges and the other mazda drivers at the OCC show do too since I won best RX-8 there too. Maybe I should not wash my car or wheels next time and then I can bitch too. I'm glad to see what kind of club I belong too.
