Well we got back from the Berkeley NCRS meet. We entered our Copper Bubble top 55 Corvette for flight judging.This was to be the first and last time .I was interested to have it on the judging field to see how it would be received by NCRS members in a flight situation.
Well to our surprise and delight it received no negative remarks from any one. Each team went right at it and was surprised how original it was besides the obvious.(every comment was positive) They were great! Later at the banquet Dinner as owners sat anxious to know how their Corvette did, we dint expect any recognition because we never show the 55 Corvettes. But we both just about fell off our chairs when they said Ladies Choice is that Copper 55 Bubble top Corvette. Sweet! A nice Pink ribbon.
I again heard Roy Braatz 55 Corvette second flight,WOW then we were really amazed and shocked. How did that happen.Many people know we have just about every accessory GM ever offered in the 55.The wheels,and radio tires two part paint plus I dint even remove the Bubble Top so that they could judge the soft top??????????WOW
I dint go over the judging sheets with each team . I just signed them , I let the judges know at the start that we weren't looking to receive a flight award but were just supporting the meet by showing the 55. When we get the judging papers back, I'm interested now to go over the sheets and see how it measured up and will get back to you.
We remember all four teams saying that beside the obvious accessories the 55 had all correct and original parts . ( which I knew) but for wear and condition.
Many pic.'s were taken on various parts and many questions asked.
We had a great time with great people and old friends.
