I cannot comment on how things were decided in previous years. I am aware that a Daytona, a couple Bonneville T100s and an Amnerica picked up awards last year...no Speedmasters...not even mine.
With that said, the categories for awards this year are:
Best Overall - from any type Best Modern Classic - Bonneville, Thruxton, Scrambler, old Thunderbird Best Modern Cruiser - Speedmaster, America, new Thundersbird, Rocket III Best Sport/Sport Tour - Sprint, Speed Triple, Daytona, etc. Best Dual - Tiger Furthest Traveled - self explained Oldest Triumph - self explained
Who is judging? That will be confirmed at the Raid and I have an idea to make it fair and unbiased if the people I have in mind are willing to do so.
As this is my first year in the driver's seat, suggestions are always welcome for years going forward. Things are pretty much set for 2013 but I am very open to new ideas for 2014. I am the type of person who will listen to things carefully and will ask a few trusted sources on both sides of the border their opinions and go forward from there.
