        The Folz award is only given out at Nationals, and you're competing against an unknown pool of other cars. In other words, you need to have achieved a Top Flight AND driven your car the furthest. The Top Flight piece is known, but who else is driving their car? Don't know. It is, however, a "one step" award. You only need to go to one event to get it. In that respect, it makes the Folz award "easier" than the Founders, which requires a trip to multiple events.

          Folz award is not easy to achieve, before I became the Judging Chairman I tried at several Nationals for the Folz award, it still remains the single award I tried for and never achieved.

            Founders does need to be flight judged, but can be done at a chapter meet and only needs to get at least a 3rd flight. Operations how ever need to be 95 percent if I remember correctly. Operations only at a regional and again at national.

              The car must also be driven at least 500 miles on the National Road Tour to the convention.

              There are some other components of the Founders' Award that the owner must fulfill. He/She must be at least a Level 1 judge or tabulator and write an article for THE RESTORER.

                Is there an age component to the award or are ANY Corvettes that are eligible for judging able to compete for the Founders Award ?
