The Diamond judging is for those who want to know exactly where their cars stand. That is why it takes so long to look at one. The Diamond class is not for everyone and it never will be. It takes a great amount af time and money to construct a Diamond level car. The judging at an AACA event does not even come close to Diamond. I don't think that anyone that had their car Diamond judged thought it was a waste of time. Judging is an ever evolving thing. We learn more all the time and have to apply it when things are found to be true. That may be one reason that cars do better one year than the next. Many may have thought the cars would do better, but everyone thinks that. Not only is the cosmetic aspect of the car looked at, the components are looked at as well. This is not Show and Shine. There are standards that a Camaro must exhibit to be considered. The main concern I have is the amount of work placed on so few judges. More qualified people need to step up and participate. This is a thankless job for the most part. But I feel that all the peoples cars that we judged felt that the cars were treated with respect and fairly evaluated. At least the cars that our team did. Anyone have a different opinion? I can handle critisism. The Supercar Reunion should be geared toward a fun event. I really don't care who has the best hose clamp at this event.. If you are wanting to know whats is right with your car there will be plenty of good people at the event to help you with your questions without the pressure of judging.
