Is judging worth the outcome

Some show say “judged”. That way you have a chance at a trophy but they don’t actually verify authentic parts and OEM. Just basically best paint, best interior, best engine compartment and so on. When I went to the MATS I enterered in modified. The one with the most mods wins, basically. At the nationals you can pay more and have them judged by enthusiasts who know what to look for and knowledge which might be with it to see exactly what you have. Do it if it’s your first show. I will if the proceeds go to charity, but not to a club.
