Notice: The rate code (GNR26) for the Hyatt Place - Melbourne Airport isn't working yet. Lynne is working on getting this corrected. We'll post an update once the problem has been resolved. If you don't want to wait for the online reservation site to be corrected, you can call the hotel directly.

Good Evening,

It is that time of year when things get busy. I hope you will make plans to register your car for our January 14-17, 2026 Event. Flight, or the Open Class that replaces Concours with both Stock and the newly named Custom class with cars through 2025 as well as Sportsman. Registration is open and we are ready to help you walk through any issues you have with signing up. Our website is fl.ncrs.org. or ncrs.org, Register soon. Judges from all over the country are wanting to make their plans.


FYI

Open Class Judging Stock Division includes all cars that are basically stock-appearing (fiberglass, body paint color, etc.) with the hood, doors and trunk closed; wheels and tires may be non-OEM in the Stock Division. Cars with paint color changes are judged in the Modified Division.

Originality is NOT judged, only condition is judged. Must have been born as a Corvette, have an original VIN Tag, and have a title/vehicle registration that states the car is a Corvette (i.e. no kit cars). Trim tag is NOT judged.

Stock Division awards are; NCRS Blue Ribbon Award score 94.0 through 100 and NCRS Red Ribbon Award score 85.0 through 93.9. No award below 85.0.

Open Class Judging Custom Division (Modified Division is renamed to Custom Division) includes any modified Corvette that does not qualify for the Stock Division.

Originality is NOT judged, only condition is judged. Must have been born as a Corvette, have an original VIN Tag, and have a title/vehicle registration that states the car is a Corvette (i.e. no kit cars). Trim tag is NOT judged.

Custom Division awards are; EMERALD score 94.0 through 100 and RUBY Award score 85.0 through 93.9. No award below 85.0. Acrylic trophies will be awarded.

Thanks very much for this, and remind us if all the cars must have a battery shut-off device to qualify to be entered in this regional? Thanks!

Hi Larry,

Please allow me to answer your question about the new "Open Class" of NCRS. The new team leader, Roy Sinor and I gave much consideration to the name of this class. Yes, the current NCRS members who voted did choose Concours as the winner. Roy and I felt that this name was too polarizing within NCRS and definitely outside of NCRS. This class would be a fresh start with additional years added, outside of the NCRS flight judged years. Along with that we are adding some additional judging and awards. Later this year we will add PV test and Mark of Excellence awards for this class as well. Therefore we decided that a new name would be best. A fresh start for this class! Thanks to Arland Dower for suggesting the new name. I believe it is the perfect name for this new class.

Thanks, Joe

The new name is a much better fit for the class in my opinion.
