As Ken indicates, the judging handbook will continue to be refined and an update will be created for the PF event. There are two primary focus areas for the handbook update. The first is to address the bonus points issue that was introduced at the last event. Although that change was well intended to avoid penalizing competitors that happened to enjoy dealer options, based on competitor feedback it appears the pendulum swung too far. That will be addressed in this manual update, although the specific means by which it will be addressed is still being explored. The second focus area is to identify items in the handbook that may be questionable and perform additional research in order to further improve the accuracy of the handbook. The handbook is the result of substantial research initially performed by James using multiple sources, but as everyone knows the records for our cars can not only be spotty, but in some instances can be outright misleading. We are collecting a list of handbook items now that additional research/refinement will be done for. If you know of specific discrepancies in the handbook, please drop me a note on the side clearly identifying the item in question as well as details on the basis for the assertion that the item may be in error. The handbook will continue to be updated using the best available information in order to ensure it is as accurate as possible. I look forward to seeing the roundup of exemplary cars at the PF competition.
