NCRS judging

I certainly found discrepencies in the manual as I went thru it for the chapter top-flight...one being the bag that the wheel locks and tool come in...the manual says it is a BLUE bag , part no. etc etc etc...well mine is an ORANGE bag and not the part number quoted in the book......but I opened the bag for the first time to verify the contents for judging...so no deduction...but they noted the dicrepancy on the judges tabulation sheets. I also don't agree with the deduction for the tires and battery.....I can not possibly have a 25 yr old Delco Freedom battery nor does anyone make a repro. same with the 16 in goodyear eagles that came stock on the car.....nor for safety reasons would I buy someone's used tires....in fact goodyear no longer even makes a 16" "Z" rated radial for my car even if I wanted to just get partial points for manufacturer....UGH!....not complaining, I scored pretty well.....just venting!

All Corvettes Judged in NCRS are subject to the same Standard Deductions. For a C4, 10 points for a current replacement Delco. Virtually all C4's receive this deduction.

Your's will too.

The revised 84-86 Judging Refrence Manual will be available this Fall.

|UPDATED|6/11/2012 5:03:05 PM (AZT)|/UPDATED|

NCRS Judging Reference manuals should be considered "Living" documents...they will change over time, as more original cars are presented for judging. The Judging guides should never be considered the final word...they never are. What a judging team may find questionable on a car, and noted on the judging sheets, will be used to further develop the judging guides. 

Here's the NCRS Judging Standard. Note the word in bold:

"Cars are to be judged to the standard of vehicle appearance, and as equipped at the time and point of final assembly by the Chevrolet Division of General Motors Incorporation. Presentation for judging is to be in the condition normally associated with that of a Corvette which has undergone the then-current standard Chevrolet New Dealer Car Preparation for delivery to a purchaser, exclusive of any dealer or purchaser inspired additions, deletions, or changes".


Good luck with your car.

then I guess we will disagree in the interpretation of the judging manual...I truly don't appreciate the inference from you that I just got into this or fell off the turnip truck......your snide remarks are not called for nor did I personally attack you...I just commented that to ME it seems deceitful to make something that is a mis-representation.Congratulations on all your achievements in the NCRS you seem to want to make sure I understand them

Folks, let's not turn this into a big peeing match over who's interpretation of the NCRS standard is "correct", or start taking digs at each other. We can have differing opinions without disrespecting one another....we are, I assume, all mature adults, no? Let's play nice, and enjoy the forums.
And, just as a polite reminder:
C4 Vette Registry Forum Rules:

1) To be free of ridicule and harassment.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.  If you don't agree with someone on a topic, that does not give you the right to ridicule or (especially) harass that person.  You are more than welcome to disagree with someone, but express your opinion in a way that is not offensive to the other person.

Accordinly, I disagree with everyone.

Let's do please keep this thread under control.
