I heard recently from a fellow forum member, that at NCRS Regional Meets that they let Modified Vettes in what they referred to as "Sportman's Class'. Is this true?

That they don't get judged (obviously) but they can be displayed?

I was wondering.

For you NCRS emebers have you seen modified cars at the regional meets on display?

Thanks All

I have seen modified cars at NCRS shows. I don't know if they were Sportsman class?

One day I would love to see the NCRS branch out to include modifieds, and restomods etc, possibly including judging on engineering, workmanship, and appearance. Maybe one day.............

I wonder how hard a time the non modified car owners, give the modified car owners.
Maybe I will go find out sometime soon.

From the NCRS description of Awards:

b.Member must own and drive a 1953 through current production Corvette and park in the designated ”Sportsman“ parking area...or... Member must own and drive a ”Stock appearing“ 1953-1982 Corvette and be willing to leave their car on the judging field with the judged cars during the event as space permits. ”Stock appearing“ is defined as no body, bumper or driving light modifications

I am new here and to NCRS, but have been to several judging meets, and I have never seen anyone present at the meets who was not extremely friendly with all who were there. I have had my car judged, and while not "modified", it has tons of things all over it that are not exactly factory original in appearance. My car got point deductions up the yingyang, but still everyone I interacted with at the meets was friendly, cordial or extremely respectful. I enjoyed the activity with other vette enthusiasts immensely.

Maybe someone should start up a Corvette restomod/modified car club. I suggest not holding your breath waiting for the NCRS to take on something new, they barely have enough time to cover all the present classes and events.

First, you don't have to own a Corvette to be an NCRS member.

Second, there are LOTS of modified/non-stock Corvettes displayed at NCRS meets; that's what the Sportsman class is all about - it recognizes participation with your Corvette for those who aren't interested in originality judging. As a matter of fact, less than 10% of the membership are actively involved in Flight judging; most members just want to enjoy their cars, learn more about them, and enjoy making friendships with others who love their Corvettes.

The Sportsman field is one of the first places I hit at NCRS events. Here's some of the reason why......

Very cool shots. Is that a clear hardtop on the black car? Never seen one but always thought someone should do it when I see Roy's car. Nice accessory machine gun!

It's a work of art.............

Yes - I've seen that car at Kissimme, FL and the top is very well done...but I have to tell you that in Central Florida it turns the cockpit into a roaster oven for sure...

The coupe appears to have some nice security features.

Must one be a NCRS member to show a modified Vette in Sportsman Class?

My 57 has been in the Sportsman class at the NCRS FL meet since they started Sportsman.

BTW, that 63 with the clear top was a GM Styling car.

You must be a member of the NCRS and register for the event if you wish to participate.

Mike Ward

Ah- you're new here. The mere mention of the letters NCRS causes the bashers to come out of the woodwork . Most have never been a member or attended a meet. Ignore them.

Mike, why do you contunally do the same as what you condemn? Every time an NCRS thread appears, you're the first to point the finger.
