My crib!!!!!

You can pre-order on for next year and I will call it Mazda Best Pre-Order and as long as you pay for it. You will win

If you dont pay for it than you are at the mercy of the Mazda dealer judicial system

 

^ ahhhhh.... That would actually be pretty cool....lol
ill c u guys 2 morrow... Im trying to get as many people as i can for this... Should b fun

I knew i was out the running when i saw that clean *** FD with the CCW's.... that thing was nice

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....

Wow... Robbed big time..

 

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.

 

That was disappointing as well.... when he didnt win best of his class.... i was sure he had best of show.....


I agree it did kinda take the wind out of my sale's seeing those results......
Nothin against u, or the rest of the vintage crew.... its always a good time when u guys are around... I guess next time im definitely Pre-Ordering my Trophy!!!!

 

Guys come on, lets move on. Look at the big picture... You guys came up to connecticut enjoy the ride up, hang out with other rotary-heads, listen to good music. Feel the heat of nice weather...so big deal that bangkok didnt win a trophy...but in my heart i know that his car was the most beautiful car there..and that he's a winner for showing up to the event..i tip my hat to you bangkok for keeping the sprite alive.. And i see you guys at the next rotary event...thank you

 

of course... just letting off some Steam..... lol
ill check u this sat.

And hope fully some vintage guys can come down as well

 

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.

 

LOL.... i guess maybe the dirty rims, and bird **** did throw them off.....
Sorry man......its just the way i felt.....Its not a slam against you...
Its like seeing your little kid come in last at the talent contest.

 

no body against you man..we are cool, it's just people's opinion because most people here know about RX8, modifications and everything else, so don't take it personal. it was all judges decision, not community. next time i will wash my wheels and all the bird *****....but i have to travel 2 hours....i don't think i can keep it clean ...LOL...

o well, you know now what type of club you are in,,,,...you are in CAR ENTHUSIATS club brother...so, don't take it too personal on people's opinions...it's all good,
