Re: Spring VetteFest
To only lose 19 points in all other areas proves it is a Gold Spinner car.
Too bad the CE block is a 40 point deduct, maybe this is something Bob and his staff can address for future shows. IMO, to encourage restamping is not good for our hobby.

[/ QUOTE ] Exactly my thinking Tom... now what happens if the car is a known restamp or deemed a restamp once checked by the judges? What is the total point deduction then? It seems to me like a CE block is a much better alternative than a restamp... Sorry to hear that Al. Your car is Gold Spinner quality for sure.

Re: Spring VetteFest
The way I understand, all is required is for the pad to have the proper code, such MN, MO, etc, and the judges are not really concerned when, how and by whom the code was stamped.
I do not think it would be in the best interest of VF to really check for accurate pad stamps. Talk about opening a can of worms. I had heard the Corvette folks had adopted the policy of the pad must contain the correct code, promoting restamps, but never gave it much thought until Sunday. IMO, the wrong code (block) should be a minor deduct, same as any other engine part (intake, carb, etc). Until then, folks such as Al have two options, 1. restamp, or 2. regardless of how nice their car is, be subjected to an automatic 40 point deduct.

Re: Spring VetteFest
Since I am not (and really don't want to) be involved in the Judging procedures and policies other then to be sure they are followed, prehaps Dru can shed some light on this?
Do you guys feel the 40 point deduct is too severe? Help me out here, Dru and any other VF Judges! Anyway, I will discuss this with Bill Braun, our Judging Supervisor. Thansk for the feedback.
