Question of the Day: What is the Most Pointless Automotive Competition?

Coming from a country where car-related competitions or sports-events are pretty damn scarce, I think some of the 'car-guys' in the US seem to have forgotten how good they have it living in a (large) place with an abundance of car-related fun and events all around the country, every weekend!
Now... I'll leave it at that before my Mopar-enthusiasm rears its ugly Max Wedge head and fanaticly flames all of you whine@ssies to a cheesy crisp!!Last edited by BigBlockMopar; May 13, 2012, 11:16 AM.

It's not like he's saying these events shouldn't exist. I will skip all his opinions except the one that's near and dear to you. Engine Masters. For an engine builder or a tuner this is probably a blast. But to a lot of people its like showing up to a race with out the rest of the car. To each their own.
Seems an issue with your perspective. I called him a crybaby which I think is, if anything, an understatement. If Speedy would have been signed up for DW in time, he'd be her yukking it up with the rest of the people who attend. Instead, it's "EVERY SINGLE POST I MAKE MUST BASH ON EVERYTHING" - why pick on Engine Masters Challenge? He refuses to address the fact that the engines HE thinks should be allowed to compete, DO NOT FIT on a DTS dyno cart. Is he willing to make custom carts (it costs around $2500-4000 to do)? No. Sorry if I offend you, but your post seems to be way out in left field to me. Sure, everyone's entitled to their opinions - that includes me too right?www.realtuners.com - catch the RealTuners Radio Podcast on Youtube, Facebook, iTunes, and anywhere else podcasts are distributed!

Well Brian, I am glad you asked...
In my opinion, the most pointless automotive competition is CAR SHOWS.
Sure, some great cars are brought to these shows and the work and dedication that is put into these cars is unparalleled. But... the competition is solely based on the opinion of "judges". It's like figure skating or synchronized swimming. Sure, they have talent and skill, but it all really boils down to how the judges feel about it as to who takes home the bacon.
RonIt's really no different than trying to glue them back on after she has her way.

I sort of agree with the thing about car shows....but only if you treat a car show as a competition. I don't, and I've helped put on a lot of them, and attended a lot more.My fabulous web page

I like to bolt stuff on that came from the junkyard, to a car that should be IN the junkyard, and then use it to drive TO the junkyard.
In order to find something else to start messing with. Anyone else feel like they are chasing their tail lately?Of all the paths you take in life - make sure a few of them are dirt.
