One of the reps from the car show called me this morning and said there was a mistake in the judge that my car and one other that looked really good was judged in the c6 class.my car was a c5 and clearly said it on the paper on my dash.We were park in the c6 space because no room left in the c5 .even my 11 year old knows the different.but I'm glad they called to make it right.I knew no way the other guys car and mine could not have placed if it was judge correct.there was to much time spent on my car and his look nice to just only his had way to much bling but still look good.

mark03c5

They have our phone numbers when we register.a friend that wit my with they also messed up with his he had a second place they called him told him he should have got 1st.they said a lot of new people was doing the judging

Let's see I clay bared it re waxed, pulled wheels off and clean behind them.every thing in the engine dep.if it had dust on it it got cleaned.pulled tail light out an cleaned behind them so because you can never get that area clean.just every thing.my car is not in a garage so it has to be regular clean from the wind blowing dust and grit around.it is under a cover car shed that's all.and I do work seven days a week so only a few hours a day to clean.

How good could the judging be if the judges cannot even tell the difference between a C5 and a C6???

I am still laughing at this one.

Really!!! I mean it's not like they mistook a 91 for a 92. How can you trust a judge that can't tell the difference between a C5 and a C6? How can they know what's period correct?
I used to judge early C3's. We had to know the options list for each year including 1969 that had mid year changes.

I thought the same thing even there where no mor space for the c5 class and several of us was parked in c6 class.A judge should have some sort of idea what he's looking at

I took my C4 to a show once, I left it parked in the lot. After talking to a guy with a C2, I pulled it in, wiped it down and enjoyed the rest of the show with my car on the grass. I didn't win anything, nor was I trying. But having my car there got me invited to the Rose City Corvette Classic and that was even funnier.

Judges do one thing, good or bad. They pass judgement on the thing they are asked to judge. You can't get mad at the fact someone judged you to your disliking because judging is perception.

He perceived your C5 as a C6.

Cars have been around for oh, about a hundred years now.

Can you name every make and model, and know them by generation?



Get over it. It's just a car show. Be happy you can walk and go to the bathroom by yourself and quit complaining. Things could be worse.
