| Guidelines for Judging |
| (effective date 1/2005) |
This is intended to furnish a uniform guideline for judging cars at Comet East meets. While every show does not have to offer

spirit of friendly competition and camaraderie. Awards will be presented when possible.

considered part of the interior) 3) under-hood: engine and engine compartment.
It is the responsibility of the owner to have his or her car ready for inspection. The hood and trunk lid should be open. The
top should be up on convertibles.
In the case of a tie, the judges or designated substitutes will re-inspect the cars in question and make a final determination as
