They said December. Also in November its going to be in "Street Thunder" magazine. You can also see that one online. We did a very cool photo shoot all around downtown Chicago. We have some sweet pics in really run down alleys and old warehouse areas.

An awesome time was had by myself and SPRAYED 01. I took 2nd in class D, would love to see the judging sheets though, got beat by a 13000 mile car over my 2600 mile car. I inspected the other car real close and it was a clean car but not cleaner than mine. But in any case still an awesome weekend. Wouldn't trade it for the world! Nice meeting all you guys!

I had a great time at the cruise and the show....and met a lot of great people. The Tripp City Cruise was the high light of the entire weekend for sure...its a must for any firebird fan!
I really appreciate all the compliments on my car both on here and in person....thats what I built the car for. As far as the judging for the show...I will just say "No Comment".

I wasn't sure but is it the same judges every year that judge the MM class? I hear complaints every year about how the judging was bad in this class and wondered if its the same judges? I hope the judges aren't picking cars on who they know or freinds of theirs bcause that would be unfair. I'm curious what people think the problem is?
This year they split the 93-97 and the 98-2002 cars up which helps the older LT1's some. Does anything know which cars won in the MM class in 93-97 class? I'm sure it'll be awhile before they post the winners.

not sure but i'm glad i got out of that class..
my mods are
WS6 hood, WS6 airbox, black ZR1's, painted intake, and gold Trans Am logo and words..they wanted to charge me 2 mods for the t/a logo and words when the sticker is sold as one
I guess i also have tint so i have 5-6 mods so i could have been put in heavy mod and been fine with that but i'm glad i got into regular mod. there is no way my car should have been in heavy custom

I got downgraded out of the MM class this year and back into K-3 (was KK). Tech was definitely inconsistent as was judging. I have judged before so I know how difficult it can be but whoever thought that the top 2 cars in M3 were the 2 they chose are crazy. Someone please post the pics of the white trans am with the red dragon painted on the side and all of the under hood and body LEDs. Or the interior would be a good place to start with the red spray painted interior trim pieces. That's it - no more comments.
There was only 1 trophy in the K3 class - car that won was very nice - no complaints from me on that one.

At least your gracious about it, but you got hosed big time! You car, in my opinion, was the nicest 4th gen at the show. It sucks when you put so much effort into your car and your not rewarded.

I had a great time, Tipp City is by far the best part of the weekend. I took
1st in my class M-1. It was good to meet and put faces with you all. If it makes some of you feel any better my father has showed his 01 SOM Firehawk there for the past 4 or 5 years and never won any thing till this year and he didnt even spend much time or effort cleaning like the past and took 3rd. The judges are not with the club last year I think it was they were from a Vette club, but sometime the choices they make are really bad and a ta with a dragon and spray painted int. get a trophy it does suck.

I had a 2nd a few years ago and 3rd this year. One year one of the judges gave me 3's on every line and the other one gave me a 92. Go figure.
It is frustrating.
