Best Engineered

[Wade Mahaffey]

I think that officials look for something that is a little different than what they usually see. Most of the time that is going to be found in the detail of the entry, and normally reflective in the cost. I think that very small percentage points are given for individual effort unless the effort produces something intriguing. I never understood why an entry owner would win an engineering award when he just wrote a check for the car. I think this is the case in 90% of the award winners. To me that's like winning a drivers award, when some else was driving.
