Judging for CTCI retros

[5bird7]

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.

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!

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

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.

CTCI is doing a tribute to Ron McCloud in the MIA section of the four day event. We have around 240 registered so far, with registration closing on Oct 17th. This will be the 'first ever' judging of our retros! I'm entering Black Beauty in the modified category.

That MUST be the most moronic requirement ever.
In the past 50+ years, I've judged and been judged using international rules mid-50s Nomads, 60s to 70s Volvo 1800s using international rules and NO ONE required a fire extinguisher.

Agreed. When I see that, they don’t see me.

Does it have to be that fire extinguisher, or could it be any extinguisher? Oh, let me clarify. I didn't mean that exact one. I meant does it have to be 2.5 ABC. I have a few smaller size extinguishers and would like to use one of them. Sorry!

Who cares

It appears that Greg and the other 240 owners must care.

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

You are correct, Paul. My cars have been judged many times at ITC events.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/251298401233 It's the rules that each car judged have one of these. It will be the first time EVER that our cars have been judged! History in the making.

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.

Good luck to you, Greg.
