They used to do stock, modified, and extreme.
It got to be too much of a whine-bag with people saying one thing is stock and one thing is not. It also used to be peer judged, which they dropped as well.

Last year I was one of the judges and I spent alot of time at each car.

Ed - It was nice to meet you. Thanks for saving spots for the "RI guys". I wish everyone judged as you stated above. My advice for next year, is please break up the +05 class into +05-10 and +11.

I'm still in shock and most of my friends from this form are, that a 2005 V6 Mustang beat my car. I had a good time with my fiends, but don't plan on attending nest year unless the classes are broken up more. This is supposed to be Mustang Mania, so I don't know why you let non-mustangs enter.

Just my 2 cents Thanks for a good day

Your car was awesome.

I kept sayin if I had a GT it would be exactly like that.

I too, figured you would have taken 1st place in that class. Was the most put together, clean, and "sleeper-esque" car there.

 

[RI_2011_GT]

Thanks Chris!!! I'm very jealous of your car and your brakes!!!! I know you want to upgrade your seats and sell me your current leather Recaros ;-)

 

[Josh662234]

RI_2011_GT - I can not believe that car beat you. Your car was my favorite one there, and I believe I told you myself. Cleanest/best put together '11 I've seen yet

 

[RI_2011_GT]

Thanks Josh!!! Nice to meet you today!

 

[DAVESVT2000]

Does this orange flag make me look fat?

I didnt even notice you, I was looking at the black Laguna Seca in the background :burn:

Speaking of which, who won in the Boss category ?

 

[LILBLKSNAKE]

Speaking of which, who won in the Boss category ?

NOT YOU!!

It was the Boss 351. I think it was a 1970??

 

[RI_2011_GT]

And 2nd place went to a Boss with a Krylon touched up front bumper....

 

[DAVESVT2000]

Maybe I should have tried to make it on time so I could enter. Registration was closed by the time I got there at 12:30.

 

[RI_2011_GT]

It was a great show and Ed and the Club did a great job! It was for a good cause and very nice of Budweiser to open up the place for show.

I'm not made or Ed at all I think he is a great guy. I just saw the issue with the class being bundled together too generally. I'm sure my result would have been different if I saw the judge and was able to go around the car with them. Maybe next year the Judges wear bright Red shirts with judge on them? I;m sure we could all Monday morning quarter back this to death...

Ed - Great job and always good to meet a fellow SVTer! We couldn't enjoy our car's at shows without people like you running them

 

[LILBLKSNAKE]

There were 6 judges, everyone did it their way and had their own criteria for why they picked stuff.
I had three pages of notebook paper with my own notes on each car. That way when I was on the other side of the yard at another car I could compare two. I also had a digital camera with me and photographed the few cars I considered for awards so I would be able to compare mods and engine bays etc

Definatley a great time yesterday guys. Good turn out! Fun hanging with friends and the weather and setting was perfect. On the other note though, as Greg was saying (RI_2011_GT) I think the classes should have been broken up a little differently. I think 100% Greg should have won his class or at least trophied! For that car to walk away with nothing is a bit unsettling. I also dont understand how my almost completely stock 2004 Cobra is supposed to stand a chance again other terminators with 10-20k$ invested in them. I dont have that much money in it and I planned it that way on purpose. Also was the only Mystichrome at the whole show and didnt even get 3rd place in paint category :shrug: If that paint cant get anything I should have just bought black :??: (thats the color that won 1st)

Dont want to be a hater because the general atmosphere of the show was amazing and the people had it set up perfect but that is just my opinion. I would attend it again regardless of how its judged but itd be nice to see a little change.

PS- The "rev happy" guy with the touch up paint Boss was quite a site hahaha.
Also Brian I still dont know how you ever get that Saleen into reverse, I felt like quite a rookie in that thing :bash:

 

[mooch29]

Anyone take pics?? I couldn't make it

 

[SVTmystic290]

I took a ton of pics, getting the good ones together and should be posted tomorrow. Ton of great looking cars at this show!

 

[Cobraluver]

cant wait for the pics and what a great turnout

 

[FromGTtoSVT]

guys, there is no such thing as a perfect car show. It takes a lot of effort, time and $$ to pull off a show like this. NHMC has been at this for 20 + years trying to perfect the process, and I believe that they have it pretty damn close.

At the end of the day, it's a competition and you can't please everyone.This isn't little league baseball where everyone gets a trophy.......it' the nature of the car show scene.

Hat's off to the crew and thanks for everyone who came out to support the show. Next year it will be bigger!

 

[LILBLKSNAKE]

Next year it will be bigger!

Next year is the 25th Anniversary of the Mustang Mania show.
This year there was almost 300 cars.
They're hoping for 500 cars at the 25th Anniversary!! Could it happen?? Possibly!
It's going to be one hell of a good time trying to hit that number!!!
