Of course you all know I had to interject humor into this. But in reality, the Judging was a lot of fun and they were great to deal with. Once again, Bob knocked it out of the park with the show, and I've already signed up for next year! Actually, I just have a standing application on file from now until they don't run the show anymore. What am I bringing each year? Beats me! But I'll be there!!!

Cheers

Dave

I had a good experience. The car did what I figured it would do. I felt the judging staff were very fair and friendly.

I was a little surprised however that it is a point deduction for reproduction bias ply tires. I always thought you were ok with those vs. radials.

Really?
Did they gig cars for having reproduction batteries too?

No they didn't do that on my car but can't speak for any others. I heard on some other cars no points were deducted for reproduction bias ply tires but that was with different judges on other car makes.

I'm hoping so Freddie! Guess I'll have to wait and see if I get it done in time or not!

I showed my 67Z for the first time at mcacn in day2 . My car got docked 129 points and was thinking about it on my way home. I had a great time and not being disrespectful but when the judge told me that I was being docked for no vin plate, I had to show him its on the inside door pillar and cowl tag has 4L on it. Maybe a survivor class could be created for cars that have unrestored paint,chrome,glass,vinyl top,sheet metal etc. I am happy with the bronze award I received , but with a 19k mile survivor thought I would have scoped better. Just my opinion. Thanks for a great show. I did have a great time, thanks to John Mellor.

Judging can be sometimes subjective...

Having gone through this process with two cars now at MCACN, it was sure fun watching you guys sweat this year. Thanks for letting us set by you all weekend Rich! After watching the judges go over Rich's car, I think they are getting tougher on everyone in general. But then again, the quality of the restoration are really improving also!
