Got a couple of questions re the 2021 anniversary meet.
a. Does a car driven to the meet compete directly with a car that is trailered?
b. If directly compared, are there any allowances for a car that is driven vs a car that is trailered? Anything forgiven for:
1. Discolored exhaust manifold?
2. Oil everywhere on the engine?
3. Less than pristine undercarriage?
4. Bugs in the radiator fins?
5. Rocks in the tire treads?
6. Any fault caused by road use?
Based on response posts I will begin making a decision as to trailer or drive the car. I'd rather drive but if there is direct comparison to trailered cars, I can't see any advantage to driving to the meet. The adventure alone just won't get it. One must ask oneself if there is anything to be gained.
Another thing: Are plain Jane's (lower specimens) ever in the same class as deluxe models (High end models)?
Not so fast there: I ain't done just yet. Has there been any intelligent thought about adding points for accessories that are pristine and correct. If not, that will continue to be a source of unfairness and irritation that will cause owners to remove accessories from their cars instead of taking a chance on point deductions. Will too!
Last thing: Is there a separate class for cars that are brought in on enclosed trailers? You know those know as Trailer Queens (TQ? Those that are never taken out of their shells except for show and smell like a closet full of moth balls. Sort of like the concept of time capsules. Only opened for regional and anniveresy meets. Have to lube the hinges and squirt oil in the locks to get that sweet thing out. Just saying.
Thanks ah heap,
