Judged too many times?

[Ron R.]

My 61 should be ripe for it's first try at flight judging this summer. I noticed in the latest Driveline there are 2 events in my state. One is in Hudson June 16 and the other is in Dayton Ohio June 30th. Does it make sense to try June 16th, and , if I don't receive a Top Flight to make all the necessary fixes and retry 2 weeks later? Can a car be judged too much?

Thanks,
Ron

Re: Judged too many times?

A car can never be judged too many times.
You may not get the score sheets back from the first event before the next event takes place. You can make up for this somewhat by taking real good notes, but two weeks is a tight schedule to make changes between meets. It doesn't allow for much time to purchase parts, take delivery and install them or alternately do some labor yourself -- unless you don't have much else to do.

Note also the deadline for each meet. Most likely the cut-off for the latter meet is more than two weeks. You would have to enter before attending the first one.
