Looks to be a nice day.  I looked at the web site and I see they have both a judged and a display option.  Does anyone know if there would be an arrival time and a departure time if you chose the display option.    I see judging starts at 9am and would not get there by that time.  Then they also have a non-judge opition that is really judged by participants???

For non judged I don't think there is any time frame. We will be there and I know Terry Didion is going also.

This was the first time for me at this show but certainly not the last. Excellent representation of real muscle cars, 409s, big block Camaros, GTOs, 442s, Buicks, MOPARs even some Fords all lined up door to door. NCC was well represented on Chevelle row, might have even picked up a new member or two.

Food was good, weather perfect and of course the band was too loud.

Lots of very nice cars! Jeff, Jon, John, Jim, Terry hope to see ya there next year.

I had the car judged; because they mentioned the word authentic in their flyer.  I believe the two judges were camaro guys; because they drove away in camaro's at the end of the show.

I think they were more concerned about things like  a little dust on the corner of your bumper than if it was a repo or an original gm bumper .   I doubt the judges knew of any difference regarding the valve covers or a lot of other stuff. In defense of the judges, how can you expect them to know what is correct and what is not.  But then don't use the word authentic.  Just use show and glow, who cares if you have the correct air cleaner cover or filter, just if it shines.

I know one guy who did the judging in the winners circle or whatever it was. He's pretty well up on his Pontiac stuff, same guy who's been working with Jon H on the engine (dare I say it....) fiasco.

Lots of very nice cars in the winners circle, displayed well inside the show room.  I think they had a couple judges for each class, maybe more for the winners circle. 

Just to look at one thing, in the winners circle, a very nice 67 SS, clean as the operating room at the nearest hospital.  But incorrect clutch fan and clutch fan for a 67; but it did have the correct mirror (without bowtie) and the DMI stamp on the glass.  Most 67 you see will have a bowtie mirror like the 66.  Another tidbit, the radiator was a 2 row, most BB had a 3 row or a 4 row.  But there was a one application only on the 67 BBc tha used a 2 row. I don't think anyone would  be aware of this things except a 66-67 expert like Jeff Helms out in NC.
