[BaadAssGremlins] Re: Is anyone going to the Amo event in ohio this year?

[<eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can have 100 cars in your class, but your car is judged against itself.
http://www.amonational.com/judgeingindex.htm
so the only person that can 'beat' you is yourself. Some clubs abd shows do 
it this way, others like ISCA have a class where you might be lumped in with 
say all 'current restored' for years 66-68. What happens here is when too 
many cars are in one class, ISCA busts it up into years like 60-36, 64-66, 
66-68, 69-71 and so forth, depending on how many entries and how many cars 
the judges, when have entered the building, have determined what class you 
should be in.
