=>Well I had another good time at Waterfest despite being sun burned 
=>and extremely tired. It was good to see the listers again and this 
=>time I actually had my own scirocco with me. It did seem though as 
=>there were fewer lister present than in years past. I hope this 
=>doesnt become an increasing trend. 
=>
=>Now my biggest gripe about the show was something I saw coming. 
=>The judging of the scirocco modified class. This year was 
=>definitely the weakest/poorest judging I have seen to date. They 
=>awarded me 1st place and while I'm very grateful for winning the 
=>award, I'll be the first to tell you that I don't deserve it. 
=>There were far cleaner/nicer/better condition cars then mine that 
=>didn't receive any awards. 
=>I knew the results would turn out interesting when I started 
=>talking to the judges and they told me they just got in to VW's 
=>and were Honda guys up to a few months ago. They knew absolutely 
=>nothing about Sciroccos. I'd be surprised if they knew what a 
=>scirocco was at this time last year. 
=>They seemed impressed by my body kit,paint, and Audi engine. 
=>However they spent less than 3 minutes on the car which means they 
=>didn't pick up on all the imperfections in the paint and under the 
=>hood. And they never looked in my interior which is a wreck. I 
=>have a huge rip in my seat which I know that they didn't even see. 
=>I truly dont go to win and dont care where I finish in the 
=>judging, but I truly feel bad for those cars that were much more 
=>deserving of awards than mine is. 
=>
=>I'll still go as I enjoy myself and hanging out with the listers 
=>each year.
