The show is lame its the PEOPLE that makes it and the driving to and from with my buds. To be honest Tipp City could take over the Nats in a heart beat. Tiny and most of those blow hards are worth nothing to the venue.

I'd love to go. I'd just have to find lodgings.

Spoke with a couple of car judges over the weekend and consensus was that something should be done to allow survivor class cars that have had higher percent or even a total repaint but have never been restored. One person suggested a X points per panel deduct or say even a total of 30 points total deduct on a full repaint.

These cars really are in a class of their own, not full blow-out restorations but not "survivors" in the traditional technical definition. These "saved" cars are valuable to the hobby even if they don't meet the strict definition of a complete survivor - much can be learned from their untouched appearance.

I'll be there with two cars as a spectator. We'll sort of. I guess the dodge grand caravan doesn't count, but my dad will be driving the 02 WS6. My goal is to be driving the 76 T/A up next year as a long term project.

Think this will open up too many scenarios and what ifs. Take my 74 for example. Body and interior are all untouched (whats left) but mechanically all redone/ revived.

The point is why would the new paint car allowed but not the rebuilt engine car? Guess there could be a chart / deduct for various section but I think it would get clusterfunky.

Dan & I will be there with our Formula 455's ('71 & '74). We're looking forward to seeing everyone again and the cruise to & from Dayton.

Do I understand correctly that Brew and Judge273 (Brian & Mike) won't be joining us this weekend?
