Chuck,

I would like that too but with many cars already restored the matter of having a restored car viewed by the real judges (the makers) can make some individual owners or sites a bit uncomfortable with the concept of entering an area where you are removed from your "comfort zone". When you are forced to question what you are comfortable with meaning what you think you know vs the reality of what really happened on the assembly line. Once consensus is achieved (even if the topic agreed on is 100% wrong in its conclusions) it is a tall climb to shift the paradigm.

An example: To this date there is zero support from the CRG for the event-despite the stated #1 goal of the CRG being to research this very topic:

Well Phil, as you know...egos are fragile.

Yes they are. That is why 2nd generation judging is well served by you.

For those who may notice, Mike is a primary 2nd generation show Judge and has attended each reunion held at Norwood.

The first hand information that he gains from the retirees is then transferred to the Camaro judging process - likely making his skill set and the knowledge base of the team he leads - the best in the hobby.
