NCRS judging

no not "finished" ...going to try for a Regional Top-flight this summer...then that will probably be it.I don't live anywhere near where the National NCRS conventions and judging would be held, so it will be $$ and time prohibitive... thanks for the encouragement....I realize it is not something for everyone but i do love the fact that it is 25 model years old and still an excellent representaion of how GM rolled it off the assembly line.

I can unnerstand the not being able to afford, either time or money-wise, to make the National convention. If the 2001 National hadn't been in Texas, I would have never had the chance to take my '74 for flight judging at that level. I agree...the NCRS/Bloomington route ain't for everyone. My '85 will never be presented for judging...just not worth it to me. I have the '74 with a National Top Flight award, numerous Regional and Chapter TF awards, and that's good enough for me. I have no desire to go thru all of the headaches, late nights, and $$$ with the '85 I did with the '74. Again, congrats on your achievement!

Thank you Adam, I appreciate yours and everyone who wished me well, support!

i'm getting ready to have my 84 judged   since your a juge  what should i look out for////the only thing not org on my car is the batt.  and tires.   still looking for them in the usa or over seas.  however does it realy mater ? mine will be in the serv  class.....it only has 17,000 miles on it.  please give me some advise

...just follow the guidelines in the judging guide, a 1984 with 17,000 miles is a rare find for sure! just make sure it is clean, presentable. The judges  will look for date stamps, date codes etc...so if your vehicle is that original (as is mine) you should have no problem. Have you lowered the spare tire tub? if not make sure you do so you are familiar with its operation. you will need to have the tub lowered and spare removed, jack and jack handle out...when I lowered mine I found date -marks inside the tub from the assembly process....make sure all your light-bulbs work, your wipers clean streak-free...horn works, anti-theft system (if equipped) works...believe me they DO check for the correct screws that mount the license tag on the vehicle...what worked for me was I down-loaded a set of judging sheets from the NCRS web-site and had a friend go thru the car in a mock judging. It helped alot...I came within .4 of what my score actually came in from actual judging....most importantly.....HAVE FUN and learn!
