My point exactly.  If you can't compare cars, then WHY EVEN TRY when 
it's obvious that year in and year out, tons of people will be pissed 
off and go home mad?  I'm assuming that with the plethora of classes, 
that some must have had only 2-3-4 cars in them? Seems crazy.

ND simply has 2 classes, fairly simple judging criteria, a couple of 
judges wind up with their 3 favorite cars, which vary from year to year 
with similar competitors.  It's all good, it's all supposed to be fun, 
and people do enjoy themselves.  Would this work at WF?  From what 
you're saying, apparently not.  You're probably right.  Just chalk it up 
to some sort of difference between east coast and west coast peeps I guess.

So - what should be done differently at WF?  It's clear it's that in its 
present form, you guys are largely dissatisfied with the format.  How 
would you guys fix it?  Is it even possible?
