| The Judging Process Here at C3 Autoworks, we are all about Quality over Quantity. It’s not just our motto, it’s what we stand for. To help ensure that the cars on this team uphold that high standard, all cars have to pass our Judging Process. Although the standard is high, it is necessary to ensure that C3 is known for only the very best there is to offer. This process can be very confusing for some. Who is to say what’s good enough and what’s not. Everybody is different and looks at things through their eyes, and judges are no different. Most people build their car with a certain goal or vision in mind, each one unique. C3 Autoworks is never opposed to new and original ideas, actually, we encourage them. You can’t stand out if you repeat what’s already been done. Here at C3, it’s not just all about the show aspect. Cars are built differently for a variety of purposes. Although, every car is unique, they all should be judged on similar principals. Weather it’s a show, race, or sleeper the following stands true. Better name brand parts, cleaner installs, and an overall theme or originality of your project will get you the points here and every single one counts. On judging day, the following will take place. You will be present on time and ready to present yourself. Your car will be clean, since it’s a judging factor. You will need to present an updates modification list for reference. There will be two judges to score your car. Take them through your build explaining the modifications that are important to you and that are commonly over looked. Remember, one-off things are a bonus. After that the two judges will discuss and go over your car and sheet further to determine what the final score will be. The scores are based out of a perfect (and just about impossible) 100 points. There is an added bonus point section. This is for all those one-of-a-kind things that will help bump your score. The judge will also note his/her Initial and Final Impressions on the vehicle to determine if the car looks good on approach or has more than you though when you first walked up. If your car scores high enough or maintains a special value to the team weather it be potential or that uniqueness, you will be asked to join the team. At which time you will be asked to sign the contract making you an official member of C3 Autoworks. If you have any questions about the judging process, what it takes to become an official member of C3, your score, or any other related questions please ask Team President Brian Houck. |
