  1. I am a current AACA Judge in good standing and have been judging for 14 years. I am in favor of eliminating the 10 point rule because of the over restored cars. When on the judging field and one of the over restored cars is judged and it reaches a near 400 points or close, that can just about eliminate the other cars that are restored in this class to correct factory original standards from getting the top award they deserve. I have been disillusioned so many times when the judging sheets are totaled to find cars that should have received the top award in their class(and deserved it) are relegated to a 2nd place. It was stated in one of the discussion responses that the "System Traps Judges" and this is so true. As a Judge I have felt that "Trapped" feeling many times and have finished my Judging responsibilities with a less than satisifed feeling about what just happened with the 10 points and could do nothing about it. We need to make the change. The only fair way is to bring the judging of the car and the score sheet together and not compete with other cars in the class. We should only compare the car to the judging sheets and not to what the other cars have scored. Each car needs to stand on it's own in it's own class. The total points will tell the tale on each car. The point standards that are now in place should remain the same. Just the 10 point rule should go.
