It will be stunning !

Knowing the reputation of the shop doing the work, I have no doubt.

I spoke to one Shelby owner who entered his in Pinnacle Certification.  He was very impressed with the judges knowledge, information, and attitudes.  He said it was far better than any SAAC or MCA judging he has ever had done.
Interesting given the MCACN judges are typically current MCA and SAAC judges.

Excellent point Mr Gaines

I am not a judge in any venue, but have been in the past.

I actually think the venue is considerably more lenient based on my personal observations. Some people dont want real criticism and just think they are entitled to an award. Not saying thats the case here...

Just my opinion, others may feel differently  😉

As a 300 point+ NCRS master judge, I know the MCACN Triple Damond Corvette judging is way more lenient than what we do, so it is possible it is all pretty cursory at MCACN.

+1.  Both times 5S003 was judged there (2019-Pinnacle, 2021-Milestone), it was all MCA judges.

Know of a Shelby that was shown at MCACN last year that only had 1 point deducted.  It had received Bronze at MCA before that and then Silver at the 2nd MCA event.  Same car won Gold in Div 2 SAAC and Gold at French Lick.

They are all good venues. Its unfortunate that politics and personalities have to be factors. It is a turn off for many people.

Does anyone have pictures of the yellow KR convertible that was at the show?

Agreed, it is what keeps many people out of this game.

Pete, I was there all weekend and I don't recall seeing a yellow KR convertible.
