Let me take a guess...

Steve Babcock is on the left, winner in the middle and Sgt. Mac on the right.

Didn't anyone else show up for the show?

Out of 11 possible awards there were 3 people that won 8 awards......

How did Bluerauder, FastMerc & N40GL sneak in there?

Actually, Embassy nailed it, tough-azz judging, very fair, but VERY thorough. The guys that won really were best in their categories.

Twenty three cars were judged. This had to have been the longest review of cars EVER! I took notes while the four judges looked at EVERYTHING! I was on my feet for 3 hours!!

Dave Adney was the fourth judge. He used to work for Kenny Brown, though not during the Marauder days, but was very involved in the Crown Vic project. Dave had car show judging experience too. A wealth of knowledge between the four of them.

With Mac's help, I hope to write up a summary of all the things they looked at and their attention to detail. It's all about the details. It should be a great check list for prepping your car for a car show.

Thanks, Charlie, for posting this thread. I'm still doing lots of wrap-up stuff so I appreciate the help!

If I had realized this was going to be a seriously Serious car show I would never have entered! LOL!! I've seen brain surgery that took less time than the judging. :D They were thorough for sure! Imagine my horror and embarrassment when I glanced over during the hog roast and saw 5-6 people huddled around my much beloved, but hardly show quality daily driver........and they stayed there for 20 minutes!!:eek: Yikes! My point is that I don't think there could have been more intense scrutiny of the cars!

Charlie, you are too modest to flaunt it, but you did take a well deserved 1st Place for best display. Congratulations to you and all the trophy winners!! :beer:

IT was a no win situation any way you slice it. There were a lot of very clean Marauders at the Hog Roast. As I looked over the cars I knew it was going to be hard to call one car better than another unless you judge them with a lot of discipline. And I am glad I didn't have to judge any ones Marauders.
My favorite award was having Steve Babcock sign my fuse cover plate!!!! Thanks to Ms. Denmark for use of the silver sharpie. That was all the award I needed
Thank You MM.NET

Great time.
Meeting Steve babcock and having him say what he said to me was priceless.

For those of you who weren't there Steve was looking over Van WinkleDooms car and he said totally deadpan "If you were to lessen the chrome you might be able to see the lites on the tree and get a better reaction time". Priceless

Here it is, Pops/John. It is in the Gallery under "Marauderville 7 Pics". Sherm wasn't there to accept his trophy because he was back over at Muncie with Chris for the Thunderbird races. DOOM accepted your trophy \/\/\/\/\/. Other drag race winners included 03mmmonroe/Russ and Ken/Ken. Looks really close and you can see a little :o on DOOM's face. ;) Sorry, but I can't remember the exact Drag Race classes (Two modified and Two stock, I think).

With Mac's help, I hope to write up a summary.....

Mac and "summary" are not often used in the same sentence!!!

Anyway, I must be getting old becuase it warmed my heart to see Mac. He looked great! Looks like it is time for me to make a call...


Congrats to all the shw weiners. The cars all looked great!

Me? I need to have the clear coat and in some spot's the paint done over first before going to that type of judging.

At the start of this year's Spring we had a hail storm and the top of the car front to back got a bit messed up from dime size hail. :bigcry:
Plus I still have not properly repaired the underlined FU that was carved into my trunk lid just under the spoiler. :eek:

Still trying to put together some cash to have the car fixed that way before I would think about trying for something serious.
