This year's show and shine judging will be conducted similar to past years' events. As in the past, the good folks of Steamboat Springs will be performing the actual judging for all the car classes. They are not trained judges. As such, they are not expected to judge on a concours level. Their duties are limited to judging each car within a class and grading them on a five point scale, focusing on cleanliness, craftmanship and attention to detail. They will grade the engine, interior, exterior, wheels/tires and the overall appearance. Our goal is to organize a fair and fun competition. We will do our best to meet that end; however, all judging decisions will be final. Judging documents won't be made public. Also, you have a choice of whether to enter your car as stock or modified. Our traditional advice on this has been to suggest the modified class if your vehicle leans toward the extreme. If you are still in doubt I will be glad to offer an opinion, but the final decision is yours. Given that, make an honest assessment, and let your conscience be your guide. Welcome to this year's event, and I hope you have as much fun as I intend to!

Thanks for your understanding: Judging Chairperson
