Thank You for 2015 Traditional Homebuilt Voting

Thank You to the members who voted in the Traditional Homebuilt 2015 voting, with your help we came through with a win with my 1934 Ford cabriolet

The award photo:

So now that he's won, and joined at least a half dozen website forum groups, he's begged for the votes from people he'll never know..

I wonder if we'll ever "see" him around..??..??

Well I most certainly didn't vote for the car.
I though at the time that it was a bit rude to approach total strangers asking them to vote for a car they've never seen, and they also can't see the cars he's competing against.

Win at all costs it seems...

They're out there...and their political vote for Trump means as much as your vote for anyone opposing him.

I agree, and it happens each year.. we get a "new member" asking for a vote for a car we've never seen before and will probably never see ever. I don't bother - it feels "slimy" somehow.. But it is true that the trophy hunters want to "win" at any cost. And "they" think they are a "car guy"! Not in my book anyway.

Goodguy's caused the problem by using a popularity contest approach, open to anyone with a computer, to rank their regional winners instead of taking the time to assemble a panel of judges to do the job. Of course picking the "winner" from a single photo makes the whole process questionable, but then just about every judged car show has it's issues, IMO.

Yep-at the big judged shows-its the points you lose instead of the points you make---screw heads not all alighned, tire names aren't on top, you didn't leave the trunk open-------- It doesn't matter if the roll cage is exhaust pipe bends and the parachute is shop towles stuffed inside ( probably because the geek couldn't pack a chute---------
