Judging for CTCI retros

[007Cruiser]

I do know about the retros being accepted into CTCI, Just don't understand why it took them so long after Ron fought for years for this. I did talk to Bill Long in CTCI about the award, it is an honor for Ron, however, its a shame he could not be here to witness this. Just Saying!!!!

So good to hear from you, Liz. Hope you’re doing well.

Liz I made sure Ron was included in the conventions MIA for those that have passed. They will have a bagpipe playing Amazing Grace with a flag ceremony. I've got fond memories of you guys. Be well

Many shows require that each car entered has an extinguisher. This is for the unlikely event that a fire would break out.

For me, I was in the Safety Business and having an extinguisher is a safety issue. Boats require them!

I followed the link for judging, since the Retros didn't come from the factory with a fire extinguisher why are they required for judging? Screenshot_20231007_122856_DuckDuckGo.jpg

The 55-57s didn't come with fire extinguishers either. It seems to be a rule that local fire marshalls expect in different states as car fires have occurred at events in the past. It's also been a rule for years in CTCI and other clubs. It's a fire safety issue.

VTCI has been judging them for years and I assume ITC has as well.

Only judging I need is my own. If ours passes my approval, it's way better than average for age and miles. Rolling one off a trailer a few times a year doesn't really impress me that much.

Since I'm not a member of ITC, and VTCI I wasn't aware of their doings. I liked the fact that CTCI was coming to Florida. Both the president and our regional rep own retros. Our club the Cetral Florida Thunderbirds is putting on this regional convention. Over a half of our members own retros! Without us Ralph Cowell our president could not have done this...

1. OH, CTCI members know Ron very well, I'm sure he would not have been overlooked in the MIA. Ron and I attended serveral of the CTCI events together.

Liz, That’s the ONLY dance I do, but have to be half in the bag to do it!! Hi from Karen and Steve in Sarasota!

Well the convention is over. I was surprised that Liz showed up for Ron's memorial and was glad to see her. Black Beauty won first place in the retro modified and also won the People's choice! Both Stewart Weirs merlot and Baby Blue also were winners. Next year CTCI will be in Iowa. Lots of work but rewarding...

I was surprised myself to show up. This was not planned, was in Florida to see my brother who is in hospice care. My nephews found out about the award and insisted that I go. I had to shop for clothes to wear as I had not brought anything with me. It was an honor to be able to present the Ron McCloud memorial award and talk to many people.

All best thoughts and wishes to you and your family, Liz.

Thanks Gene, my brother passed away Monday morning. I was very fortunate to be able to see him over the weekend.
