Waterfest 14 will take place on July 19th and 20th, and will be held at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park (better known as Englishtown) in Old Bridge, New Jersey. The Show Car Event will be held on Sunday the 20th. 

We are looking for people to judge the show cars. You need to exercise reasonable and dispassionate judgment about the quality of various types of VW's and Audi's, both stock and modified. The judging criteria are clear and must be applied fairly. Judging will keep you busy, and you need to do it quickly; but you should have time left after your assignment to enjoy the show. You do not need to be an expert on every Volkswagen/Audi; you do not even need to own a Volkswagen or Audi You just need an appreciation of fine cars and the work necessary to build and maintain one in competitive show-car condition. Your reward? You'll get a judge's tee shirt; free admission; lunch; getting to wake up extra early so you can be at the site no later than 6:30 AM; the nervous smiles on the faces of those who own the cars you are judging; and getting to know a lot of very exciting cars up close and personal.

If you apply, and are accepted as a judge, and come on Sunday (see below) you will be rewarded with $25. If you can also show up for one of the Saturday �judge's briefing sessions' we will double that to $50. The Saturday briefings will be at 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM. If you have never been a judge at Waterfest, the briefing session will get you started in everything you need to know and how to judge the cars. You must judge on Sunday to receive any of the rewards.

This is serious stuff. Over  400 cars, in about 20 classes and 4 categories (stock, modified 1, modified 2 and supermodified), need to be evaluated on a consistent and evenhanded basis. A core group of experienced judges will guide the process. You must arrive at the site by 6:30 AM, at which time a briefing and orientation meeting will be held, getting the cars parked starts at 7:30 AM, and judging starts when the cars are parked but no later than 9:30 AM. You will get an assignment to judge a certain class(es). You will be teamed with another person and be responsible to complete your assignment as soon as possible. The close of judging will be at 12:00 PM. You will then be needed to accurately tabulate and organize the results.

Judges will be too busy with their duties and may not enter a car into the show, autocross, drag race, burn-out contest, sound-off, or dyno. We will have a special area to park judges' cars inside the exhibition area. We will make every effort to have your assignments finished in a timely manner so that you will have time to spend at the show Sunday. You are also welcome to spend time before or after the Saturday briefing session at that day's events.

If you need further information please call 845-352-3155.
