American Heritage Process

[John H.]

Iam attempting to research a 1969 Corvette for possible American Heritage status. I don't understand where you start in having the car examined for
consideration. I have read the NCRS definition, however does the car need
to judged at a regional first or what.
We are just starting to develop the car's race history. It will probably
take a considerable time to document it.
Any suggestions or past American Heritage owners who have imput as to what
they went through would really help.
Car was purchase new August 1968 by Ken Kalla and then drag raced for several
years. Originally it had a L71, and then a L88 was also used in it.
We have the original paperwork showing options etc.
Car was sponsored by QUICKSILVER RACING. Car resided in Virginia and
then Pensacola FL. We just need a good starting point.......HELP

John,

I too have contemplated having my car evaluated for the American Heritage Award. The way I understand it is to discuss it with the team leader for your division (in the front of the Restorer) and the National Judging Chairman (Roy Sinor). If they give you a positive responce you will need to take it to a Regional for the OK to go to a National Convention. The American Heritage Award is only given at Convention. I hope this helps, Don H.
