What else is there to say?

 

Tom, they look awesome side by side.

It's kind like your own "politically correct" statement.

 

looks great!!!

 

WW... so that's what "NCRS" decals look like

 

Looks great, Tom. I have some "other" kind at the print shop. Promised to me next week, for sure.

 

I'm having a great deal of difficulty trying to decide whether or not to post this on the NCRS forum!

 

You mean you don't think the gasoline post was enough??

 

That crowd will run you out of town! Al W.

 

Yes... Do It! Do It! Do It!

 

They might get a bug up their skirt like they did with the "Not Correctly Restored Stingray" decal. BTW, ya beat me by only 1 yr on the other one!

 

That just proved that silly questions are not restricted to this website.

 

So you had that made yourself?? I want one!

 

A friend made them, and I have no extras.

 

You should and some day I would like to see your Corvette at a NCRS convention , hay! they put up with me and you know my 55 is not NCRS material. Some people avoid it but most think it's neat . Just this year I put the NCRS sticker on my 55 and I'm member #182 never had one on before.

 

I like this attitude. With all of the NCRS bashing that goes on (and don't worry, I'm not defending them, I am a member and I have my opinions as well, positive and negative) it's great to see someone with such an early membership number to take the organization, shall we say, wihout such an orthodox belief. My hat is off to both you and you beautiful non-NCRS material '55.

I DO NOT have, and NEVER have had a problem with NCRS's position on originality, correctness, and condition at time of delivery standards. NEVER!

BUUUUUUUUUUUT, what I have had a problem with, is the organization's attitude toward, and treatment of, those cars/people/owners who have a Corvette which is not exactly as it was the moment it rolled out the back door of the St. Louis plant.
In fact I am a great admirer of a "perfect" factory version of these cars. And I have a great amount of respect for those who have taken the pains to perform such a thorough restoration.
As a result of their earlier attitude and treatment of NON-flight cars/owners, they are paying the price now because sooooooooooo many owners of "incorrect" early Vettes have been turned off and turned away from what is basically an excellent organization.
I'm not going into detail, and it is really inconsequential, but as a result of past offending treatment by some NCRS members, I have reciprocated by being VERY critical of NCRS's treatment of these owners. Fortunately, much of the membership now realizes that changes were severely needed, and some changes in fact have been made. But many changes were too little, too late.
One excellent example is the Sportsman class which now includes a group of cars that previously COULD NOT fulfill Flight judging requirements.
At a Regional meet that I once attended, I later learned that a well known NCRS member (now deceased) made the comment "Why the he!! did he bring "that" car here?" He made the mistake of making that comment in the presence of one of my good (NCRS) friends who passed it along to me.
One of my sick reasons for remaining an NCRS member all these years is just to be a thorn in their side.

 

And Tom, as you may know, in that sentence, you just described my car ! (the one that I happily both drive and grind)

Some people here may or may not know I'm the person that started SACC . The reason was as Tom said many people did show up at NCRS only to be put down because their Corvette dint meet NCRS requirements . So I talked Noland into being it's President because every one knew his name and it went over big time. So for many years I dint do NCRS but in 05 I took my 55 to NCRS and now just enter the sportsman class. I'll never meet there 100% requirements because I also drive my 55 and the added accessories but like going now just to see old friends and Corvettes.

 

Roy,
My SACC number is SACE 107.

 

Nice I dint know that , it was a great time when I was running SACE , but now as SACC I've never attended there meets, how are they doing now. Now I've been asked to help NCRS put the new 55 JM to gather when they start doing it.
