Just so y'all know, and without giving away "who's who" at this time, here are some stats on the Best of the Best voting, to date. This may change substantially by the time the trophies are awarded.
Number of participating vehicles: 42 (many were multiple winners, having won in several shows)
Number of votes cast: 1,389
Number of those votes that appear to be from "locals": 164
Number of votes appear to have been cast by internet surfers from around the globe: 1,225
So, I am pleased to say that the folks who are in the lead are not winning because of anyone voting for themselves, or friends voting for them. While it is true that some of those out-of-state votes may, indeed, be friends of participants, the randomness would indicate the vast majority are not. When someone emails and says something like, "I stumbled onto your HotKarz site. I love showing my cars out here in Riverside CA and I wish they would do something like this out here. I would like to vote for ____________ in the Medomac show, and _____________in the Gorham show..." Such letters tell me the votes are pretty much from random visitors.
Such is the power of the Internet, when once you learn how to harness the power of GOOGLE :o) HotKarz pays Google to list our "Best of..." page under key search terms, like "Best of Show" and "Maine Car Shows". This attracts a LOT of international visitors.
So, keep winning those shows, folks, and stay in the running. You just never know.
