Boy, the week to go over these proposals just happened to land on the week I'm selling my beloved Bora Wagon :( and buying a Golf Wagon :). I'm hoping I can get all my questions to the groups that put in the proposals tonight so that they have a day or two to get back to me.:) Given this situation, there is a chance I may need a couple extra days to make a finalize the winner of these two excellent proposals...

Fred, congrats on the purchase of the Golf Wagon!

I'm looking forward to your questions about our proposal. :)

Looks like a nice drive! I might have to check that out.

So who wants to pick me up at the airport? The way the New Englad crew drives, we will all either leave in the middle of the night and not make any rest stops or 2 weeks prior to fest.

I need to apologize to everyone waiting for the decision to be made for November 16th, but due to a number of factors I wasn't able to give the applications a fair work through in one week. Therefore I've delayed the decision by another week. Rest assured it will be decided by November 23rd, 2009.

C'mon Fred - that's one less week certain East Coasters have to prepare for the drive out. Any more delays and they might not make it. ;)

Which proposal has a stock AND modified show classes? :p :D

Pete
That's not part of our proposal, but I was thinking about that yesterday. Funny you should mention it.

I was actually kicking around the idea of Stock, OEM+, and Modified. This would make for fewer awards than in previous years due to having fewer categories, but the awards could be much nicer.

S & S is fine as it is........
I disagree.

2 weeks after TDIFEST 2009 was at H20i in Ocean City, Maryland. They did not have mute judges.

3 weeks after TDIFEST 2009 was at the Bugorama, and Clean/Elite VW show, in Las Vegas Nevada. No mute judges there either.

1st week of November in Dade City, Florida, for the BugJam. No mute judges either.

I get around, from coast to coast, and this phenomenon is only present at the TDIfest's i've attended. Totally weird.

Does that matter? The winner of this year's A3 class was not even a TDI. :p
The TD took 2nd. First place was a TDI. One problem was a lack of entries. There were only two of us even though there were several other A3s in attendance. :(

Later,

Scott

do any of these judges get paid? are they professionals in the field carrying some type of certification?

TDIfest judges are volunteers picked by Fred - the fearless leader of this website. It is his website, and can do with it as he pleases... if you do not like the way things are handled, then go elsewhere or do not complain.

Man, if the only reason you come to TDI fest is to win some trophy for your car I have pity on you. :rolleyes:
