Should Members of a Club Sponsoring a Car Show Be Eligible for Awards

In a nutshell, car show judging is a crapshoot. Professional judges would be the best way but one pro doesn't know it all for all models. I have seen a Satellite Sebring/GTX clone get judged at MCACN as a 97/100 car. The judge didn't even catch that it was a clone.
Peoples choice is sometimes good until some dweeb brings his neighborhood and all his cousins to vote and his clam of a car ends up "best of show". (I have seen it happen many times)

Yep. Life is not perfect.

And you can always just go and put NO JUDGE on your dash placard and not be part of that. Then have a good time and support the event you are attending before it disappears.

And those "professional" judges are usually in the hobby with some sort of business for profit. They restore cars for $$, they document cars for $$, they sell parts for $$. On the flip side of that, they are usually the most knowledgeable people.

There's not too many people that have restored these cars, super knowledgeable and live in a cave away from the rest of society.
