Looks like a good showing. Congrats to all those that placed and thanks to all that represented DCM.

Note to those that were showing: Detail your wheel wells! I don't care how bling-bling your wheels were and if they're 19s or not but if I see road grit and the squirrel that you ran over last week I'm going to subtract points. I saw numerous cars, of any brand, that had this overlooked. I realize that when you pull in the wells and the tire treads are going to be dirty but give any of the visible surfaces at least a once over.

Agreed Brad, I always check for that when I am judging. One kid was actually shocked when I did that, I was like what do you think my job is?

ALL the cars that I had had dirty wells...........Kinda sad.

:wave: I cleaned mine. like 10 minutes per wheel/wheel well

mine were clean...

Most of the ones I saw were clean. But the "polished undercarriage" category was useless. All of the ISS people had wicked cars but not a single one of em touched the under-the-car stuff.

BTW Jake - I think there needs to be a "best sleeper" category for sure. Maybe even "best convertible" just to segment those off. But in a show that small it might not matter.

Exactly. I wasn't even there but it stuck out in the pics like a sore thumb so I know it must have been bad.

:werd: None of my cars were exactly clean except for the Civic Ex Turbo. You do need a sleeper category... that InlinePro products civic hatchback would have been perfect.

I cleaned and even painted my wheel wells, while I had my rotors and calipers out for painting, but, with it so dark in the Expo, I don't think anyone noticed!

I had mine pretty damn :bling: considering I live and work on back ass dirt roads

What they also need is to split Domestics into Wild/Mild , Domestic Class was a lockdown 1st/2nd with that trailered orange Cougar and the trailered S10 Pickup at the vendor booth... lucky our 94 Cobra took 3rd... With all the Focii runnin around now, it merits seperation between wild/mild for domestics too.

well, I'm not sure how the domestic turnout was, but it's usually only a few. Things change though... I really hate it when car shows have classes for individual cars IE. Best civic, Best integra... Grrr
