Wow...that stinks. I'll have to admit I get tired of all the whinning after shows but you really have a legit complaint and I think everyone should call him on it. What did he think you got for your $20.00 - preferred parking???? Hope he at least refunds your money he owes you at least that much if nobody judged your car. Did they give out awards???

That is so bogus! So basically it sounds like this show was a big GTG. A GTG that you had to pay to go to. Did they even run the 1/4 mile at all? Anywho sorry to hear about that Carson. I would deffinettly consider contacting someone about getting your money back.

They post the results on Vortex, whenever they recover from this weekend.

And I know I wasn't judged, cause the prick said it to my face that he didn't judge all the cars.

That's really sad. It sounds like the judge in question wasn't taking his responsibilities very seriously. To be honest, the only shows I've ever been to were judged by participants. I'm sure there are flaws in that type of judging as well, but I never attend a show with the expectation of winning anything. I know you've got some serious coin wrapped up in your ride, so naturally your expectations might be higher. I hope you get some resolution out of this and maybe German Squad will learn a valuable lesson about choosing judges.

Thats all I am really aiming for right now. I am not the only one to get shafted today, but I choose to speak out against it rather than remain quiet and let it happen again.

I did win 2nd Place at Fall Show and Go, I was judged and everything...this time I wasn't, I paid the $20 to enter the show and wasn't judged. All I want is a fair shake in this deal, you know?

Most of the German Squad guys ARE cool. I have a few friends in German Squad, most notably Elvis and Nuno, and most of their other members know me as well. It just seems like Vic always has an attitude and thinks he is never wrong. Since you were Mark 3, you probably got judged by Dres, who is mad cool. Vic saw 3 cars that he liked and picked them, and didn't bother to look at the rest, and tried to make up excuses as to why. This shouldn't be allowed.
