Hi Guys,
That kind of class system is how it USED to work at the Nats. When
Jeff Jeffson (I think that's his name- he was the organizer of the
Chrysler Classic events) took over it all went to sh*t. That was when
I stopped showing. He only cares about drawing the highest crowd and
therefore the most money at an event. Anyone who as attended any of
his events can tell you this.
Now a true 'day two' or modify ONLY has speed parts from the era the
car was built or sometimes (depends on the judge) the year the car was
made.
So- a 1969 car can have the Anson slots, or the Torque thrusts, but not
the ET drag wheels (mid-70's). It can have the Dixco or Sun tach, but
not the Autometer- same reason. Or it can have the Edelbrock ED-340
manifold, but not the air gap version. You get the idea.
Same goes with the tires and everything else.
The problem is that too many day-two's are covered in late model hop
ups so they cannot be a day two. Now they are pure modified.
I just wish someone would standardize the classes and judging for all
these shows, then it would be easy.
If the damn Corvette clubs can do it, why can't we Mopar people????
Just my pennies,
Charles.

I forgot to mention this show is a National Meet and is a judged show. Judges evaluate each car by its merits, or demerits. Quality and condition of each component is "judged" and points deducted for less than "as new from the factory condition". It is possible for a 4 door sedan to beat a convertible. However, convertibles are worth more and get more spent on the for restoration. Modifieds are judged only on condition.

Any hard-to-find item: "Well, gee, I just UP-graded, with a chromed
'dooie'......my chrome should be judged higher (cause it polishes-up, so
nicely) than your nasty-aged looking OEM 'dooie'.
If it were MY club......I would limit the NUMBER
of obvious-changes-from-OEM to "X", as a "Street Stock" car could have
a LOT of bright-shiney subtle-or-not changes/upgrades to it,
literally, from the wheels, to the paint (color, and clear coat).
