judging cars with extremely low production configuration

Re: judging cars with extremely low production configuration

I don't understand why a low production car is any different or should be treated any different than any other. Ed is right on about the paperwork. Why the fix for something that isn't broken?

Re: judging cars with extremely low production configuration

Folks,
I did not say that we will not judge these ultra-low production quantity cars. I did say that there must be authentication in order for us to judge such cars. NCRS does not want to be put in the position where its Flight Award becomes a badge of authenticity. If you have one of these ultra-low production quantity cars, it is probably in your best interest to contact me and/or the appropriate National Team Leader in advance of any judging application.

Dave,
Does this include cars that were judged previously? Say a car that the owner wants to go through the process again. Or a car that went through the judging process by a previous owner that the present owner wants to have judged.

I also do not like that the members have to "share" their paperwork with the NCRS to get judged. Lord knows
where the paperwork(Their copy) will end up at in the future. Doesn't the NCRS indicate that their judging in no way enhances the value
of the car? I believe the car should be judged "as is" on the field. No prerequisites. JMHO Larry

And my concern is the "Law of Unintended Consequences".

I suspect that this decision may increase the development and production of fake paperwork, etc. that could be used to "authenticate" a rare car.

Realistically, this is probably such a small number of cars that it is almost a non-issue.

Increase??? Could there be much more produced? Like the XX car with three distinctly different tank stickers?

Re: judging cars with extremely low production configuration

If at first you don't succeed, try try again.

And given the value of a real XX car, it is worth making as many tank stickers as necessary to fool, oops, I mean subtly convince prospective buyers that your XX is the real thing.
