$30 is the standard fee for a local SLAP-sanctioned event from coast to coast. In many areas of the country there are typically 20-40 cars entered at the local events. However, in the Atlanta, GA area the "local" shows draw over 100 cars on a regular basis even when there are numerous other shows to choose from because they like the format and the trophies are nice.
Here is what is on the scoresheet for judging a SLAP event:
(Scale: 1=needs improvement; 2=average; 3=above average; 4=superb; 5=perfect)
Membership and/or SLAP logo (0, 1 or 2 pts)
Presentation & Display (1-5 pts) (you give verbal presentation of car to the judge)
Under Carriage (1-5 pts)
Engine Compartment (1-5 pts)
Performance Enhancement (1-5 pts)
Exterior (1-5 pts)
Interior (1-5 pts)
Trunk/Hatch/Bed/etc (1-5 pts)
Sound System (1-5 pts) (OEM systems are fine...)
Bonus Points (0-10 pts) (points awarded for unique ideas, applications, extraordinary effort, etc)
That's it.
