    A Kissimmee Top Flight Surprise

    Some friendly arm twisting by Scott Sinclair in December convinced Mary Lou and I to enter our 63 SWC for Flight judging at the Florida Regional.

    Our expectations were modest since we had 24 year old well worn paint and we knew we would lose 80 points for knock off wheels.

    In our wildest dreams we never thought Top Flight.

    So it was a fantastic shock to get a Top Flight ribbon. (Did I mention that we drove over 1500 miles from Newmarket, Ontario, Canada to get here?!!)

    And we received the Long Distance Driven award to boot!!

    A sincere thanks to the judges and the Florida Chapter for a memorable, once in a lifetime experience.

    Great cars, great friends and lots of new friends. It doesn't get any better!!

              Congratulation and it proves NCRS judges ant bad people judging a driven Corvette having wrong wheels and worn paint . My first time at a National having wrong wheels and accessories and driven also got top flight . So it shows driving a Corvette if it's mostly original can still get a top flight in NCRS.
