Im not upset about losing.
but your right. Its not fair to attack you.
But you have to consider the way the show was handled with Kevin last year. And then this year coincidentally things go awry as well. Ive read your rule book. He still shouldnt have lost.
Its nothing about deserving more respect. Dont think were dummies here. Ive seen way to many modified cars done horribly. Kevins is absolutely the opposite of that.
And one reason that good comments may not have been stated yet is that the primary reason for the event is the car show, and the vehicles here. If something goes wrong with that, it doesn't matter really how nice the hotel was, as there are nice hotels everywhere. There are other threads also regarding some of the events at zcon and I have also talked about some things in person with other people and admitted they looked really nice.
And honestly. now im eating a klondike bar so... ima go enjoy it.

BTW, all entrants choose during registration the class they want their car in...perhaps Kevin should have entered his Z into one for more highly modified cars? "Nissan-Modified" or "Ultra-Modified" are for more heavily modified cars just for this reason (to allow heavier-modified cars to run against other heavily-modified cars)...thus my point about getting familiar with the judging rules. This is the 24th year for this convention running...I volunteered back in '08 to keep them going, last thing I care about is another trophy.
It's disappointing how not a single positive comment has come up about the event in this thread...and how few people on this thread actually were in attendance to have first-hand experience of it.
When was the last time anyone got to meet Bob Sharp (or for that matter - how many 370z guys know who he is to start?)? We organized Nissan corporate to help sponsor our banquet dinners...also arranged Nissan "Employee A Program" discounting on ANY NISSAN for attendees... The Coastal Z Club planned this for the past year - track event, autocross, drive to the Fort, and also secured one heck of a nice resort (the Westin Savannah - normally $300/night...for a whopping $129-$139/night).
While I realize I errored here (and admitted it now a couple times), I'd appreciate it if my integrity wasn't attacked - especially publicly. I don't make a dime to help organize these events and they're a heck of a lot of work. Anyone in a Z club can run for a position...any takers? We can always use the help...Phoenix next year and two others after already on the horizon.
