I agree about the problems with deciding on "who is best". We have a "judged" contest in March. Ours was just last Saturday and we use a points system for judging Finish, Interior, Chassis, Engine etc. In our case this has worked well for years until last Saturday when the Master Awards were "picked" instead of being judged using the points system.
The issue we have is the credibility of the choices. If the Best Car wasn't picked both the show and the entrant pickedwere misserved. The entrant thinks he has a better car than he did and the contest looses credibility for other entrants.
