Sunflower House logo

Sunflower House, a child abuse prevention center and child advocacy center, is a non-profit, United Way agency serving Wyandotte and Johnson Counties in Kansas. The result of a successful merger between the Child Abuse Prevention Coalition, founded in 1977, and the Sunflower Children’s Center, founded in 1994, Sunflower House is in a unique position to impact this leading deterrent to child health through three program initiatives: Education, Child Assessment & Medical. Sunflower House is a full member agency of the National Children’s Alliance, our national affiliate that ensures adherence to best practice standards of its federally recognized and supported multidisciplinary approach to child abuse investigations. Sunflower House was recognized as the 2002 Outstanding Crime Victim Service Organization in Kansas by Attorney General Carla Stovall and awarded 2002 Outstanding Organization at the Kansas Governor’s Conference on Child Abuse and Neglect.

Tentative Schedule of Events for Saturday:

·         8am-12pm: On-site registration

·         11am-12pm: Valve cover races

·         12:30pm-2pm: Vehicle judging

Judging Criteria:

All vehicles will be judged by the following criteria:

·         Paint

·         Interior 

·         Engine 

·         Undercarriage 

·         Wheels/Tires 

·         Trunk area 

·         Glass/Moldings/Rubber (except tires) 

·         Detail 

·         Judges overal opinion of the car

Each item listed above will be scored on a scale of 1 - 5.  Any area that cannot be seen or is not accessible (i.e. trunk or hood closed or windows rolled up) will receive a score of 0.

In addition to the mandatory 1 - 5 scoring, the judges may award up to 3 optional points for each criteria. This was devised specifically for the H2O classes to level the playing field between "garage queen show-only" or "fresh off the showroom floor stock" vehicles and daily-driven modified vehicles.  The air-cooled classes will also adopted this same scoring method for their cars this year to help simplify the organization of the judging.

Judges:

All judging is done on a volunteer basis, and someone will announce over the PA system when they're ready for judges to congregate at the main building to pick up scoring sheets.  We encourage all show entrants and spectators to participate in the judging.  Judging for each class is done with two people, and those two judges will confer with each other and agree upon the point value to award each car for each criterion.  Those who have never judged before are paired up with someone who has experience.  You can judge any class your car is not entered in.   These guidelines were devised for the highest level of fairness.
