Post by: 67gtasanjose on March 01, 2016, 07:32:25 AM: I'll be driving our '05 GT Convertible for entry in the "Display Only" section. Hopefully, no rain this time :o We got hit hard on the drive to Columbus last fall with rain so now our '05's somewhat "virgin undercarriage" is no longer as pristine as before. (oh well, right?) We cleaned it up pretty well on the lift after we got home so all is well. :-\

I have offered to help Judge. Hopefully, anyone from the Western New York Shelby & Mustang Club who may be reading this thread can align me towards the 67-68 cars and their judging team(s). I didn't see any place to make such comments in Registration.

See you all there ;)

The local club does not organize judging in an MCA event, which is why you did not see that on any forms. The "normal" process as I understand it is to (1) join MCA, (2) take and pass the online test for certification, (3) contact the appropriate (for the year and class) assistant national head judge (ANHJ) and let them know what show(s) you will be attending and discuss what you would like to do. Names and contact info is on the MCA website, (4) show up and meet with the ANHJ, get assigned to a team, and go to work.

The alternative process would be to just show up and talk to the ANHJ to see if there is an opportunity for you to join a team. If allowed the intent would be to whet your appetite enough to join, take the test, and become certified. The risk here is that there are more than enough certified judges to load up each team, and a "walk ins" doesn't get placed. There was one event for me where there were so many 67-68 concours judges that some were volunteered to venture into the daily driven class which needed a lot more judges.

My experience.

I highly recommend that you take the online test - you can do it!

You should have no problem with the certified judges test, it is a online open book test and you have 30 days to complete it.
I hope you go for it!

So 3 out of 4 right answers can get me certified?
