Bowtie Judging Results

[John H.]

I had my car Bowtie judged a few years ago in St.Louis. The team leader
discussed my results with me on a general basis that afternoon.
The final results were announced at the banquet 2 days later.
My question is, the rules book guidelines doesn't mention this afternoon
process, such I had left the show area after judging and the team leader
finally located me late that afternoon.
Souldn't the book state a clear process that is used in speaking to the
car owner. It just so happened that there was a very large discrepancy
in one of the four categories judged. Only after some deep soul searching
by everyone did this judging issue get settled.
It so happened that with a better time line in print etc. judges could be
more easily located when there is question about results.etc.

REBA, I thought I would repeat a story that happened in 2008 in St.Louis
when YOU were judging my car's interior. My wife was standing near by
while the car was being judged and a third party who knew Reba overheard
a portion of my wife's comments to a fellow observer she was talking to.
Cathy my wife said "that's John's FIRST WIFE, RITA THE RED HEAD",
the person heard this and interjected "MY GOSH, YOU MEAN HE'S LETTING
HIS X-WIFE JUDGE HIS CAR?" My wife said "OH,NO; That's the name he
gave HIS CAR, RITA THE RED HEAD, IT'S A MILLE MIGLA RED CAR".
Not Reba , it's Rita. A good laugh was had by all.
BIG JOHN
