67 BB Judging guide Analysis / Spreadsheet

[Tony DiGiorgio]

Hello members, I just finished a project in which i inputted into a spreadsheet all of the areas that are judged on a 67 bb car. the goal of this was to help me determine how the judging points are weighed in certain areas of the car (at a glance). the other goal is to determine where I might spend my money as I determine how many points I might hope to gain for the dollar spent. As I have never participated in judging a car, i was really suprised at some of the point assignments on some items. For example I was suprised to learn that the transmission case was worth only 5 points, ( a somehat costly item if you did not have an original and had to hunt one down) whereas the battery and caps is worth 15 points (a purchase that will cost only 130 dollars.)There are many other examples that took me by suprise and too many to list here. I suspect that others who are restoring their cars may also benefit from this type of analysis and I am willing to share this with anyone who would like a copy. the only necessity is the end user has to have a version of excel to be able to use the program to its fullest extent. E mail me if you would like a copy. Best regards, Tony DiGiorgio 937.435.5516

Tony,

One reason on the case is that other than seeing if it is a Muncie or a Borg Warner, very little on originality (i.e. numbers) can be detected on the judging field.

Believe it or not, the judging point assignments can change based on the correctness of a reproduction. For example, say the radiator caps currently repro'd are incorrect. By giving an unduly 15 points, the NCRS can, by way of insistent owners wanting correctness, "force" a company to change its product and make it better. When the product is revised and the next judging manual revision comes around, the point number is then decreased, say to 5 points.

You will probably never see this in print, or even hear it from those above, but I've got this straight from the mouth of a Master Judge and Team Leader who "wrote the book" (i.e. NCRS judging manual) on his year(s) of expertise.
