Re: I just wonder what NCRS is certifying here?
Mike
anyone who reads the disclaimer on the back of the Top Flight "certificate" (it even carries an embossed imprint of NCRS certification on it) can see it is lawerspeak to protect the club against any liability for false representation. But the fact is that the club did certify a given Top Flight car for achieving 94% of the "appearance" of originality on a given day at a given meet. And that certification is in the record that you can buy from the club anytime in the future for $300. The rub comes when 99% of people in and outside of the club believe that the club judges "actual" originality, and not just the appearance of originality, AND that once so certified, forever 94% it must remain. There does not seem to be anyway to dissuade people of that idea, not matter how often people like Mike Ward and many others point it out.
