Hmm, so I've got you guys wondering what I'm up to, huh?! LOL
Actually, I just PM'd Todd about the very issue of registering for multiple classes. My take is that as long as you charge a relatively high additional fee ($15-20) per each additional class you want to compete in, it shouldn't be a big deal as it will separate those who truly have show potential in each category from those who want to shotgun out their chances of getting a trophy by entering multiple classes. There are a number of cars on CEG including mine, Brian's, Hahn's, Wa2Tuff's, etc that could well compete in several classes. My personal opinion is that I want to compete head to head with the best of the best in each category and not limit competition just because someone's car isn't registered in my class.
As an example, suppose someone showed up with a show quality paint job, but they entered in a category other than paint, and Brian entered his for paint. Would you feel like you really had good competition if you won the class? It also gives those voting the freedom to have more choice instead of possibly having to settle for whatever is in that class in case the car they really wanted wasn't in that class.
Yes, I want to enter my car in multiple classes, but if your truly met show quality in multiple classes, wouldn't you want to do the same? I think Brian would do well both in paint and non-svt. Another thing, with the additional show fee paid, you could easily cover 2nd and 3rd place awards in every class (I can't remember if they did this before, but I don't think so). I haven't posted this up in the SZ forum yet as I wanted Todd to have time to think about it before I step on his feet and get an overall reaction.
