Disappointed with ute musters

casey jnr · 28-03-2007, 18:10

hi

I have got a WB 2 tonner my mum has a WB one tonner and my dad a HX 2 tonner

we enjoy a good day out at the Ute muster as well as rodeo's, bull riding extra

but after entering in many categories we seem to notice a pattern in the judging

our friends and us would like some attention

we have unique utes with a lot of home made bits and pieces, we have put in a lot of money and afford.

we have been coming to musters for the last 3 years and loving it

I am not shy to splash the cash but you need to be more aware that it is easy to loose interest if you don't get recognised

we always enter in all categories, but when we see some people walk out with 4,5 or 6 trophies and lots of others empty handed it is hard to keep your chin up when you are 20 years old

if the judges could think of some way to aknowge new comers and utes with special features like home made modifications and ad-ons and try to give more trophies or ribbons to more utes this would encourage everyone ( a pissy little ribbon can mean a lot to a 20 year old)

regards

Casey Jones & Casey JNR

I go to Ute Musters to Interact with other Ute Owners/Lovers.
If I win a ribbon, it's a bonus. Certainly not a pre-requisite to going thats for sure.
Most musters I've been involved in, you are only allowed to enter in one category. No cross-entering. So everyone has a better chance.
But I know one thing, Just because it hasn't got a ribbon, doesn't mean it isn't good.

Cheers

Gday,
if you dont have a show stopper of a ute, the most likely you wont win. Go home empty handed like 95% of everybody who go to ute musters.

And for the blokes who win 5 or 6 ribbons? they are very rare, as in not a ute i have ever seen can win 6 catergories.

Go to musters for a beer and to have a good time, try not to be so concerned with the ribbon side of things.

Just beacuse you dont win ribbons dont mean you dont have a good ute!

Cheers sharpy

dont take this as sour grapes but theres not a whole lot you can do to change it. going to the show with expectations is the way you end up dissapointed. just keep at it, the more shows you go to the more well known your utes will become and evetually you may start winning. but until then just go along and take notice of the utes that win, u might learn something.

as the others said mate its not all about winning, i go as it is a interest/hobby you could say, i hardly ever win but thats not what it is about for me, its been with a group of people who all have the same interest, and looking at the other utes, get ideas for mine and yeah just having a good time
