Not really a bad idea at all.  Why doesn't VTR do like the Mustang clubs
do.  Don't quote me here, but, I am pretty sure that there are something
like for classes of competition; from daily driver to Trailer Concours
Queens.  Each category starts cutting out portions of the judging
criteria; ie: no underbody judging for driven concours, etc.  As for
telling if someone is lying, I think it would be rather easy to tell the
trailer queens from the drivers.
