madkaw Posted July 24, 2015 Share #13 Posted July 24, 2015 Hope you can make it in '16 Madkaw. It was nice to meet people in person...Me too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfa.series1 Posted July 25, 2015 Share #14 Posted July 25, 2015 I got a call from "Mad" Mike Taylor last night - he's already urging me to tow the Z to Toronto just to put it out for show! About 1,400 miles, 2.5 - 3 days each way. Easy for him to say "do it"! Hmmm - compare that to a 3 hr. flight from Dallas. Gonna have to work on that suggestion VERY hard to make any sense of it.

madkaw Posted July 25, 2015 Share #15 Posted July 25, 2015 Hey Jim(Big Winner!),If I had made it I would have entered the street modified category, but I thought I might have had too many mods. How picky were the judges as far as counting mods? Did they package the mods like in the rules-example of front and rear spoiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfa.series1 Posted July 25, 2015 Share #16 Posted July 25, 2015 Steve,I got no questions from the judges on mods so I don't know how it worked across all the cars. I had my mods listed on a paper in case it came up and I counted the spook and spoiler as two because they were sold separately. I talked to Mike W before the show, he had declared for Street Mod class but was judged in Nissan Mod class. I don't know if this was his change or the judges. I removed my strut bars before the trip to give me some cushion on the count if needed. Here's my list: ExteriorBRE front “Spook†BRE rear spoilerShaved and painted bumpersAlloy wheels InteriorStereo and speakersFog/driving light toggle switchSeatbeltsConsole arm restFire extinguisherEngine BayAir pump and related controls removedHeader and exhaust systemFIAMM Air hornsRelays for headlights and turn signals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only hoping for peoples choice entry if i made it, but was considering that class also, but I'm waayyy to modified:)But I can live with that.

siteunseen Posted July 25, 2015 Share #18 Posted July 25, 2015 I'm heavily modified with cobwebs at the moment. Sorry Mike that's the pits, dadgum spider web! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfa.series1 Posted July 25, 2015 Share #19 Posted July 25, 2015 Steve - keep in mind the rules are about "visible" mods, things that change the appearance. Note that I listed no suspension mods. My drivetrain is bone stock except for a 0.030 overbore. Paint color is a free item unless you are in stock class. BTW - the People's Choice classes this year were arranged by generation and had a lot of negative feedback. I heard they are going back to the "old" classes next year, not sure if those mirror the judged show classes. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted July 25, 2015 Share #20 Posted July 25, 2015 Jim, what kind of negative feedback on the people's choice? What were the complaints? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfa.series1 Posted July 25, 2015 Share #21 Posted July 25, 2015 Charles - I just picked up some mentions of the change in class structure from prior meets with comments of going back to the "old" classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveJ Posted July 25, 2015 Share #22 Posted July 25, 2015 That is one of the reasons why I don't enter judged shows. Someone is always unhappy. Another reason is that I don't have the budget to make it worth my while to enter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
