Re: Bowtie and Flight judging
Bow tie judging is a one shot deal. If you buy a Bow tie car like I did, you do the 4 prerequisites and bring it to a National Convention for the 5th star. In my case I fit a Duntov attempt in between.- Top

Re: Bowtie and Flight judging
That's interesting. So it is possible to buy a 4 star Bowtie car, do a Duntov, and get a 5th star by bringing it to a National without it being examined/judged again by the Bowtie judges?Big Tanks In the High Mountains of New Mexico- Top

Re: Bowtie and Flight judging
The fifth star consists of a thorough review of the car by the Team Leader. He may also solicit the help of others if he thinks it is necessary but ultimately he decides if the fifth star is to be awarded. The fifth star is far from automatic. Under your scenario there are experienced judges doing the Duntov and they can tell if the car was massaged away from original as well. They process is very thorough.- Top

Re: Bowtie and Flight judging
Given the major hurdles and multitude of checks and judging, you have to wonder how many dual 5 star Bowtie-Duntov cars have ever made it. Anyone know or venture an educated guess?Big Tanks In the High Mountains of New Mexico- Top

Re: Bowtie and Flight judging
As of about a year or two ago there were approximately 30 Bowtie/Duntov cars. Thanks to one member in particular I would estimate there are 3 + more and counting. That does not count the Maclellan (sp?) cars.- Top
