Re: Acceptance Criteria
Interesting side note from the other hat I sometimes wear at the Mustang Club of America judging. I informed the MCA judging chair a while back about this clock issue, '60s Mustangs and Shelbys have the same issue, after the NCRS started to realize clock rebuilders were resourceful types. It has not shown up yet in our judging, but I have seen at least one restore where they have done the clever rebuild with quartz to simulate original. I think now MCA and SAAC will also start using the shutoff check too.Big Tanks In the High Mountains of New Mexico- Top

Re: Acceptance Criteria
Ronald,
You as an owner should know what parts have been assembled to your car. The basis of NCRS is the restoration and preservation of said car. If replacement, non original design parts have used in the restoration of your car then expect deductions. This may be solid state voltage regulator, quartz clock, urethane or epoxy paint, solid state radio, roller camshaft, radial tires or anything not of original configuration out side of the CDCIF judging requirements. Owners are quite clever in masking such non original configurations and judges need to be just as clever in detecting them. So my suggestion to you is DO NOT assemble any parts and assemblies on one's car that are not of original configuration. But if one does expect deductions. Power on and power off is NOT outside reasonable judging.
It was good meeting you in KC and thank you for bringing your car to the National. I think Gene said it best, you have to know your car and while you may not have experienced the power off technique in the past, I can assure you it has been around for a while. We have been asked to do this on our car at the last 3-4 judged events we have attended. As Terry said, if we had been able to hear (or not hear in this case) the audible click in the clock, the deduct would have been taken without having to test with the battery. More importantly, this was discovered during Flight Judging and thankfully not found while conducting the PV. You should be very proud of your car (Black/Silver coupe!) and the work that you have done to it over the past couple of years. Its always nice to hear the stories from people that have owned their cars as long as you have. Thank you again for allowing us to judge your car and I am confident that you will do well on your PV. If you have any questions about the PV, Ill be happy to talk to you about our experience last year in Virginia and help in any way I can.
Best,
Chuck- Top
