Matt tried something new this year because last year it was a major PITA to sit there and hand count everything.
We had some technical difficulties this year with the ip block working on some folks and not on others.... i.e. people with iphones.
So instead of being honorable people just vote blasted one car. We noticed there were nearly 10 times as many votes as people and it was coming out way biased. So we stepped in and voted in person.
We put together a panel of judges including Mods, organization members and old school members that know a thing or two about cars.
In the process we eliminated 2 cars that were high in votes, one of them would have got my vote for a category win... it did actually.
We then as a group went around and did the best we could to pick who won what and I think some damn nice cars won.
there were a lot of cars that were considered and yours did get a vote or two.
We'll work on a new system next year.

Love that fozzy. Congrats to all the winners - and thanks for rolling with us as we went to plan B on the voting after finding some of the issues. Lots of great cars made it really hard to pick a winner in each class.

I came and walked around the show and met Ray and we spoke briefly. I had my young daughter with me and drove the WRB Forester XT Sport. I didn't realize you were one of the event organizers and I appreciate your taking the time to talk to me in spite of the fact that you were so busy. I'm a friend of Gagan's and a few other members that I've met while at auto-x events.
What an impressive community and show you guys have here. I'm from the Ford Focus community where I'm a Super Moderator of FocalJet.com and I'm incredibly impressed with the members, show and general demeanor of everyone I've met to date. Classy place you guys/gals have here and I'm excited to learn more and participate here as much as I have with my other forum since 2006.
Thanks to Gagan and Shane for making sure I knew about the event and that I made it out, even if only for a little while. I will be sure to enter on time and show at the event next year.
