Bloomington Gold Judging Day (Friday) at The Indianapolis Motor Speedway

Friday, June 21 is the day the Bloomington Gold Judges review and judge the car.  There's a total of 8,520 points and, to be awarded a Gold Certificate, a car can only lose up to 5% of the points (95% correct).  The judging areas are similar to the NCRS as they review the VIN and Trim tags, Engine Compartment, Chassis, Body & Wheels, Interior, and then Operations - ensuring everything works properly (lights, radio, fan, etc).  All went well today, we'll find out our score on Saturday in the awards ceremony. 

First set of judges are reviewing the VIN and trim tags for accuracy and authenticity. That's judge Bill Calirico over the engine compartment, and Gary Naber in the white shirt on the far right. 


Couple of shots prior to the judging.

Set up with fender covers for the engine compartment judging.

There was an all original Silver/Red '63 judged next to mine.  14k original miles.  Quite a car. The car was purchased in the early 1970's by it's current owner and coincidentally, the handler of this car (Bob Zimmerman) was the guy that bought my other Corvette, a 1963 Roadster, in 1972.  He was with a dealer at the time.
