This was the first year for this event and the turnout was exceptional with about 100 cars participating. The plan is for this to be an annual event, and possibly a stand alone event at some point. The cars were spectacular with a few original owners participating. This year was part of a rollout plan, the mission was to measure the level interest and educate all who participated along with spectators.

I will mention a couple of cars that were "like new" 68 Shelby 500KR, 73 Formula, 69 Lemans blue chevelle, 60ish Black T-Bird and a host of others.

All the car owners received a participation award and some received a pre-cerification award, stating that the car would likely achieve survivor status. I believe next year that survivor certification will begin. A lot depends on David Burroughs getting the judging teams selected and certified.

The venue is excellent, but the forecasted weather probably kept some from participating. As always it was nice to see some of the great people from this site and I thank those who participated.

You just trying to see if I was awake, Ken???
I think that car belongs to John Neas. He bought it new and raced it a lot.

....Certified SURVIVOR Judges certify that the car meet this set of standards:

1. Is 20 years or older

2. Completed a 20+ miles road test within one hour

3. Over 50% unrestored, un-refinished, and unaltered the way it left the factory in at least three of the four areas:
a. Exterior (Paint, Trim, Glass)
b. Interior / Trunk
c. Under Hood
d. Chassis (Suspension, Frame, Wheels)

4. Over 50% of the original finishes (paint, fabrics, plating) remain good color references for restoration of a car just like it.

Awesome looking cars at the show! Personally... I think that allows for a little too much touch-up on a "survivor"
But the good news is that a couple of my cars still qualify!

Tim:

I didn't see you there? I was waiting for your call all weekend.

[TimG]

Ed, sorry I didn't call. The weekend went by so fast, I spent much of Friday in the NCRS tent as they were short handed on volunteers.
I also spent most of Thursday looking at the beautiful black LT1 Corvette and other cars in the auction. Glad your car was recognized as a nice original car.

[DarrenX33]

I took a whole bunch. Lets start right here...

Dru's survivor...
