I was recently given a 1 point deduction for having a service replacement decal on our 72 LT1 (2025 LV Nationals). Discussing the deduction with the judge, the indicator for identifying SR or OEM is to shine a bright flash light at an angle from above. Apparently OEM decals cast a purple hue and SR do not. I don't find that information in the 7th Edition TIMJG ?

I don't either Fred.
With current judging manual format we are limited to about 300 pages. Expecting ALL the information about our Corvettes to be in a 311 page manual is just too much. It can't be done. We have to decide what to include and what to exclude.
Then consider that new information becomes available before the next edition can be published, and the limitations of the manuals should become apparent. It is called a "Judging Guide" for these reasons.
If you had questions about this judging the appropriate method is to ask the Team Leader at the event.Terry -

Although I do not participate in the judging process either as a judge or having my cars judged and as I have previously stated, I disagree with the sort of judging methodology you described. I do not know if the "test methodology" your valve cover emblem was subjected to is valid, or not. However, I regard such a test as a form of qualitative analysis. If that sort of analysis is acceptable in NCRS judging, it could easily be expanded to many other sorts of techniques. I do not consider that any form of qualitative or quantitative analysis is appropriate in the judging process.
By the way, just to be clear, I do completely support NCRS judging regardless of the fact that I do not participate in it.In Appreciation of John HinckleyComment
