We have spent months, nearly a year reworking a functional plan and judging system for the Modified group that is fair and inclusive. We've consulted several other clubs and organizations on how they treat/judge this type of class so that we don't miss anything or anyone who might be left in the dust.
Here are the classes/criteria for Modified now:
The new system has new classes, and a new approach to judging using a 100-point scale. Modified judging is open to all Buick-bodied cars with a Buick or GM engine, at least 12 years old. Classes under the new system:
Mild modifications or “Day Two” – Must have a period-correct Buick engine. Simple modifications such as intake manifold, chrome kits, headers, wheel and tire upgrades
Resto-Rod: 1948 and older; Buick or GM engine.
Resto-Mod: 1949 and newer; Buick or GM engine.
Radical- all years: Major body changes are allowed, such as chopped or channeled; may have drastic interior changes.
Display Only: May include “Rat Rods” and Buick less 12 years old; also non-Buick bodied or non-Buick/GM engine. Car must have either a Buick body or a Buick/GM engine to be displayed.
