Carlisle Nationals contest are rigged !!!
Well at the big shows YES at the smaller shows not so much...The show our club (well the one I used to be in im currently clubless lol) had a rule that a members car could not be judged nor a family members and that basically anyone in the club related to or what ever could not enter or get anything...Pretty good deal IMO..yeah some club members really complained because being the local club they genuinely DID have the best one in class..but you just for sake of integrity cant vote on club cars or in the OP case employees of and expect people to think your being genuine in giving out things to employees or club members...as a matter of fact to make it fair..no Carlisle employees or family should even be eligible to be in the contests or at a minimum should not be able to receive awards.
