VW Nationals 2011 info
i am wanting to enter the nationals for the first time
where do i send my form? email/fax numbers address?
when i get there for the show and shine , what to expect from the "drive through" judging? what goes down?
what time do we turn up for drive through 0730 or 0800 or some other time?
if entering a original type 1, do i go all out and shine it up or just leave the petina?

Cheers, but I pretty much have the exact same questions as wolfgang54, I thought it'd be beneficial to post the answers publicly so it could help
others also. Unless there's a reason why that's not a good idea?
Should be a fun day, however I doubt my car can go in any other category than "22 - Rat class - All Years"

Yeah, I was also curious about the judging process etc. Never been involved in a car show and shine before, so it's all new. (I doubt any amount of
cleaning and polishing will make my car "shine" regardless )

its before a certain time but i dont know.
as for the drive through judging, its exactly what it sounds like. you cue up and drive in to the judging area before going to the main area for the
show and shine.

What do the judges look for though? What criteria are points/scoring based on etc?
This won't make any difference to me personally. But I'm curious as I often see judging criteria published, but not in this circumstance.
Cheers

Unfortunately there isnt a lot in the way of accomodation around fairfield/smithfield. Several pubs which could be dubious. Try google accomodation
fairfield, but you'll find more choice at liverpool and parramatta.

Drive thru judging.How does a judge really have a good look at a car,when there is a line a mile long waiting to be judged.Can he/she then compare the
cars later on in the day?How does someone who comes through at nine oclock get compared to someone at 11?
If you have a watercooled car,its peer judging isnt it?What would some of these people know about judging cars in a show and shine?
I know it takes a lot of time and effort to put on the Nationals and the commitee does a great job,but bring back the days of walk around judging or
even better independant car show judges.

Geez a lot of negativity for something which is provided for the community, by the community!
I'm sure the judges have a clear set of guidelines in which they follow for each car and award points accordingly.
It probably varies with each category? And I'm guessing that if there is any wavering concern as to which car is the winner they will do a
comparison viewing.
Hah Hell yeah Azza- looking forward to seeing yours ratting it up!

isn,t the whole idea to have a bit of fun. if you win something all well and good, personally i feel everyone gets a bit carried away with the whole
competitive nature of a big show.
