Having just spent 40 hours on the road and 8 days in the midst of car nuts and car show minded folks I've had the chance to distill many questions and conversations down to a fairly short list. I invite folks who have an opinion and experience as well as those who have opinions and lack experience to ponder and comment on the below list of somewhat "hot" topics and concepts that have been bothering myself and others in the rank and file as well as those in leadership of our organizations (SDC and AOAI) as of late with regards to showing and judging.
Please include your experience level in introduction, not to qualify or disqualify your comments, but rather to give an idea of your perspective and help others understand your point of view. I'm interested in everybody's input here, from the seasoned veteran to the interested newbie. In fact, the inexperienced folks may provide the most insight, because they most closely mirror the public's understanding of our hobby.
With that said, here we go. Please explain your take on the following concepts as relates to showing and judging of automobiles. I may need to add items. Please check the edited reasons for items added if you notice other addressing terms not in your original reply and feel free to edit your answer to include them. Also, please fill out the edited reason if you feel the need to change your original post.
