Bowtie Judging Requirements

Re: Bowtie Judging Requiements

That might be a good job! I have often thought that of all the car judging/club experiences that NCRS would be the most interesting to the public. Preparing for PV, I sometimes think I'm on some TV reality show. And who else could match the mystery, drama, emotion, and a large share of true "characters" than NCRS? Much more interesting than the usual car stuff on TV. I'll see if I can interest Velocity Channel in it, but

Ah, there's the rub. I think anyone "telling all" would be kicked out.
Bronze statue? Kevin. More like a dart board at the pub.

Re: Bowtie Judging Requiements

As stated above, the first hurdle is to score over the previous listed score for each of the four areas, but meeting that alone does not get you the award. The team then meets and discusses the car and it's ability to be used as a learning tool. Each item on the list of the judging sheet carries the same weight, I.e. A mirror carries the same weight as all the paint on the exterior. A car can be a total repaint and score over 90% for the exterior area. Should it get a star for that area? That is what the NTL and judges will discuss.

Not so Steve. To receive the Star for the exterior the car has to have 70% of its original paint. A total repaint is a FAIL, regardless of how the other parts of the exterior are judged.

70% or 75%? when the bowtie program was created by the dipstick etc, it was 75%. of course, what difference is 5% , unless we start measuring the surface area involved with a micrometer. mike

Terry,

I missed the bronze statue at the NCM and I forgot to go to the "pub"; however I do not want to miss your live interview
on ABC with Amy, what is the date and time you will be on...man I like looking at Amy no matter who she is interviewing.

Yau are probably right Mike. I should have looked it up before I posted, but you know how I hate looking at books. I just love to tell everyone else to "look it up."

And you woulden't notice if I was there or not.

BTW: Who is Amy?

It's top secret. If I told you I would have to kill you.

PS: When I retire from NCRS I am going to write a book and reveal all. Then I can hit the "author's circuit" and you can watch me on all the talk shows.

I've often said that with regard to medicine. I could make far more $ this way than actually seeing patients. Dr Oz makes an entire career out of it.

Yea, and Dr Oz peddles some really questionable stuff -- and that is as politically correct as i can be. I would much rather hear your advice.

Terry,

Always glad to provide it to you - but you knew that.
