Tips for Owners & Exhibitors,
CCCA Judging
***
Trailer Parking:
Trucks and Trailers may be parked in the designated area
adjacent to the Hotel.
Identification Placard:
You should have received a Car Identification Placard
when you picked-up your registration packet. Please verily
that the information on the placard is correct, and contact
Howard Schaevitz - Area Head Judge if there is a problem.
Please attach the placard to the front of your car in
plain view.
Car Washing:
A hose for car washing is available in the designated
car washing area.
Parking and Display on the
Show Field:
The numbered space assigned to you should be in the information
you received at Registration. If not, please ask a staff
parking assistant (yellow vest) for help. Please park
your car in the numbered space assigned to you with your
car centered over the yellow tape.
If you are a judge, try to move your car onto the Show
Field before the Judges’ Breakfast at 8:00am, Saturday
morning.
Security:
The Club typically will provide overnight show field security.
Please check and confirm the arrangements for security
at the event you are attending.
Photography:
Please make your car available as directed by the official
photographer.
Judging begins at 10:00 am:
All cars should be on the Show Field and ready at 10:00
am.
Removing cars from the Show
Field:
All cars being judged or exhibited must remain on the
Show Field until 3:00 pm. National CCCA Judging Procedures
require that no car be permitted to leave the Show Field
until released by the Area Head Judge. So long as it is
not raining, the Area Head Judge will not release any
car before 3:00 pm. Your cooperation will be appreciated.
While one of the primary purposes for the display of
our Full Classics® is judging, the Grand Classic®
is meant to be enjoyed by all participants. By leaving
your car on the Show Field as long as possible, you will
help make this a most memorable event for everyone.
Obtaining Judging Results:
You may request a composite score sheet that shows where
each judge made deductions. The names of the judges will
not appear on the sheet. Requests for composite score
sheets must be submitted in writing after the end of the
event. Please enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope
and send your request directly to the Area Head Judge
-
Howard Schaevitz, Area Head Judge
229 East Warren Avenue, Edgewater Park, NJ 08010
Important - Requests for composite score sheets
must include a SASE and must be received by the Area Head
Judge no later than May 30th. All judging information
will be sent to National Headquarters and the judging
scores will no longer be available locally after this
date. Results should be available from National after
June 18th.
Judging is a cooperative process between car owners and
judges that is designed to assure that all cars are judged
efficiently and fairly. While judges will evaluate your
car as they would want their own car judged, a well-prepared
exhibitor who understands the judging process will assure
that their car is seen by the judges in the best possible
light.
Here are some highlights about how the judges will interact
with an exhibitor:
- The team leader is the liaison between the exhibitor
and the other judges of his team. Only the team leader
may converse with the exhibitor. If another judge asks
you a question, please refer that judge to his team
leader. However, a judge may talk to an exhibitor before
and after judging.
- Only the team leader will ask that you demonstrate
something on your car.
- No judge will attempt to operate any component of
the car, except that the team leader may ask you if
he can operate the brake pedal and hand brake to check
the pedal travel. If you would rather do this yourself,
please tell the team leader beforehand.
- Before a judge can make a deduction for Authenticity;
he must discuss it with the team leader, who will then
discuss it with the exhibitor.
Here are some ways in which an owner or exhibitor can
help the judging process:
- You will be required to start the engine. If your
car starts better when it’s warm, it’s a good
idea to warm up the engine before the judging begins.
- You will be asked to demonstrate the operation of
all components such as lights, windshield wipers, radio,
power antenna, dash lights, interior lights, etc...
If your car has a convertible top or canopy, you will
also be asked to raise the top from the windshield frame
so that the judges can see that the mechanism works
properly.
- Some items such as vacuum-powered windshield wipers
must be checked while the engine is running. Before
turning the engine off, remind the team leader if some
item that requires that the engine be running has not
been checked. This will save you from having to start
the car again.
- All detachable items must be judged, even if they
are not installed on the car. This includes top boots,
side curtains and tonneau covers. Having these items
ready for inspection will help the judges.
- Remember that no deduction for Authenticity can be
made before the team leader discusses the issue with
you.
Therefore, do not attempt to substantiate the authenticity
of anything unless the team leader asks you about it.
