c3 bumper and sportsman judging

[john#40931]

I bought my C3 last year, before gettting into the vette "culture" and did not realize the bumper cover is a later model (no split). I am curious if I should even go to any judged events with the car if the cover will "disqualify" me, yes I could change it but it has a custom pearl paint job too. So am I out of luck with the sportsman class?
Thank You

Re: c3 bumper and sportsman judging

John, the Sportsman class is open to any Corvette so long as the body has not been modified so that it doesn't resemble a Corvette. There is no judging of these cars; they are parked for display and receive a nice ribbon. In Flight judging, the car would lose all points allotted for paint. I do not judge '74s, so I will let someone else address how much the bumper would lose.
