Those are all from Novi, MI? Wow! Should call those guys "the Novi eight". {I hope all eight got awards.}
Were either of the Ontario Orange cars the optional "Firemist" paint?

Hi,
I'm hoping for a red coupe to make an appearance at a chapter meet this fall.
The Ontario Orange cars are 'fire-mist'. They REALLY sparkle in those fancy lights.
It was VERY hot in Novi too. I helped judge 'operations' outside on Tuesday and fried my brain.
I'm at an age where it's fun to go and good to be back home!
Regards,
Alan

If someone bashes NCRS it is just a reflection on their small mind.
In the meantime I will continue with my 75 resto/mod.
I love all vettes.
Peace

I understand the "hardware" part..............but the "absurd judgements" - who are you referring to here?

Well let me be the first to complain and I have a list.
1. None of those cars are mine.
2. It's still crazy hot here.
3. None of those cars are mine.
4. Did I mention it's hot.
If the owners of any of those cars are here they are fanatastic looking cars.

Hi 69 Chevy,
Very good question.
The red convertible is driven a LOT.
One of the blue cars was driven over 1900, (yes, nineteen hundred), miles to the convention to qualify for an award for which the requirements include driving distance to the meet.
Some of the others may be driven a lot too, but I don't have personal knowledge about that.
The NCRS has many ways to encourage people to drive their cars, and I believe more cars are driven consistently than people think.
Our Chapter has a member with a Top Flight 69 427/400 convertible, who consistently wins the Ladies Top Eliminator title at the CORVETTE DRAG RACES our Chapter sponsors each year.
Regards,
Alan
