I think you mean Jeff
Johnson. ???
Chrysler Classic Events was sold to a
drag racing family
who have REALLY screwed it up last year,
and tried to save it
and bring it back a little bit, this
year.
All they care about is the drag
racing.

Hi Guys,
That kind of class system is how it USED to work at the
Nats. When Jeff Jeffson (I think that's his name- he was the organizer of
the Chrysler Classic events) took over it all went to sh*t. That was when
I stopped showing. He only cares about drawing the highest crowd and
therefore the most money at an event. Anyone who as attended any of his
events can tell you this.
Now a true 'day two' or modify ONLY has speed parts
from the era the car was built or sometimes (depends on the judge) the year the
car was made.
So- a 1969 car can have the Anson slots, or the Torque thrusts,
but not the ET drag wheels (mid-70's). It can have the Dixco or Sun tach,
but not the Autometer- same reason. Or it can have the Edelbrock ED-340
manifold, but not the air gap version. You get the idea.
Same goes with
the tires and everything else.
The problem is that too many day-two's are
covered in late model hop ups so they cannot be a day two. Now they are
pure modified.
I just wish someone would standardize the classes and
judging for all these shows, then it would be easy.
If the damn Corvette
clubs can do it, why can't we Mopar people????
Just my
pennies,
Charles.

I forgot to mention this show is a National Meet and is a judged show. Judges evaluate each car by its merits, or demerits. Quality and condition of each component is "judged" and points deducted for less than "as new from the factory condition". It is possible for a 4 door sedan to beat a convertible. However, convertibles are worth more and get more spent on the for restoration. Modifieds are judged only on condition.

Any hard-to-find item: "Well, gee, I just UP-graded, with a chromed
'dooie'......my chrome should be judged higher (cause it polishes-up, so
nicely) than your nasty-aged looking OEM 'dooie'.
If it were MY club......I would limit the NUMBER
of obvious-changes-from-OEM to "X", as a "Street Stock" car could have
a LOT of bright-shiney subtle-or-not changes/upgrades to it,
literally, from the wheels, to the paint (color, and clear coat).
