And HVR said it best!!!!…..Good Times to be had!!

I agree with Todd. What an honor to have one of the 10 for 2010 as an “AMBR” car. The best thing is, to be with friends and family, and to remember the good times, and the good times to come drivin these badass cars!!

HRV

Just being selected to compete in the AMBR competition is the greatest automotive honor I have ever had. Even if my car scored in 10th place I still have the satisfaction of knowing I own an AMBR worthy car. My friend Doug Jerger, owner of Squeeg’s in Mesa Arizona, and his crew built this car and I could not be more proud of them all.

Now to directly answer your question:
Do I think I would have won even if Possessed had been DQ’d?

Absolutely not,
If Possessed had been DQ’d the winner would be Chip Foose.

So Geoff, fair question and happy to give you an honest answer.

On a side note:
(And I cannot speak for the owner or builder of Possessed)
But I am pretty sure they would appreciate it if you spelled the name of their car correctly.

Sincerely,

Todd Stevens

I agree that this site or any other site is not the forum to discuss these details. For that reason I have left a message with John Buck, the Owner of The Grand National Roadster Show, to see how to best proceed from here.

As it stands now the integrity of your award and the Grand National Roadster show is in question. Competitors who were not included in the decision need to be and the facts involved in your disqualification as well as how that decision was reversed need to see the light of day.

As a competitor I look forward to getting some answers which I believe all of the competitors who followed the rules deserve.

Sincerely,

Todd Stevens

For whatever reason there might be, if you would like to continue this discussion I would be more than willing to on a private basis. This site or any other site is not the forum to discuss these details.

Why you were not contacted or a representative of your car, I do not know. I can and will share with you all the discussions that occured in the two meetings I was called to attend.

You can contact Jeph at Scotts. He will provide you with my contact info.

As far as the posting the judging sheet. I’m not sure the sheet is the controversy. The fact that this car did not meet the rules seems to be one and the fact that there are people who like the car and people who don’t seems to be the other.

The judging sheet gave “Possessed enough points to earn the award and for that I am eternally gratefull that is all that needs to be posted.

With respect to the differential. I can assure you the points were taken because I was stupid enough to bring attention to the problem even after they had caught it twice.
We had added fluids right before we got to the show so that the car would pass mechanical without a problem. I didn’t realize the rear cover was not tight. I asked permission to tighten the cover which obviously exposed the problem and was denied. I was told i would and incurred a deduction.

And finally to Josh, Life is great as a “Donk” whatever that is. I didn’t know 20′s and 18′s where that enormous by today’s standards.
