My solution was not that easy. This is what the YouTube educated me on how to do it. Would not have been able to figure this out on my own. How do you turn off auto high beam 2021 CRV? ∎ Turning the System On or Off To disable the system: When the vehicle is on and parked, pull the headlight lever towards you and hold it for 40 seconds. The auto high-beam indicator blinks twice. To re-enable the system: Pull the headlight lever towards you and hold it for 30 seconds. Tim

About the only way I can figure out some of the features on our 2021 Honda CRV is to go on-line and watch a YouTube video for what I am attempting to figure out. One example, there is a setting on the lights to have them automatically switch between high beam and low beam when it detects another vehicle coming. They would stay on high beam in town with the city light on and only turn off when I met another vehicle....drove me nuts. I couldn't figure out how to switch them to manual until I went on YouTube. Took a couple of steps but, not obvious until I watched the video. Tim

My grandmother won a new 1970 or 1971 Chevrolet Nova through a drawing at a local grocery store. It was a promotion of an anniversary for the store. For several months leading up to the drawing, one name was placed in the drawing each week. Then the day of the drawing, they drew out all the names with each person winning various prizes but, the last one left at the end of the drawing was the winner of the car and that person was my grandmother. I remember the drawing very well and how excited we were as the names remaining were narrowing down to the final one. Tim

This is a great recommendation. At the Judging School, you also have the opportunity to ask questions to get a better understanding for what is needed. To attend the Judging School, you do not need to judge at that meet. However, if you want to find out even more information, I would also recommend judging at that meet. When you do judge, they offer Continuing Judges Education sessions the day of judging where you can take a special session on an array of subjects to learn even more. Tim

Wonderful video Steve, thanks for sharing. He was definitely a wonderful person and a life gone too soon. Tim

I completely agree with you Terry. I have only been to a couple of their events but, both were fantastic. They always plan things out very well to insure everyone has a great time. Tim

Yes, there was adequate space for the cars in attendance. They did a really great job getting us out as we were able to leave the building within about 15 minutes or so. I agree that I hope all those attending the Grand National next year will be able to fit inside the building. Tim

Charlier, The "Vehicles By Class" listing that we received in the registration packet listed 154 cars at the show. However, there were a few "no shows". Tim

Yes Phillip, I agree it was a great show. Very well organized. Can’t wait for their Grand National next year. Tim

Yes Tom, there can be multiple first place awards at each show. Here is the section in the AACA Judging Guidelines that explains the scores required to win the various awards. Thanks, Tim

Great to hear that the 2023 Grand National will be held in East Moline, IL. It will be nice to have it at an indoor venue. Tim

Ed, Maybe you should consider entering the White in the Great Race? Tim

Congratulations AJ and Tom on your great progress during the race. Very cool that you were able to win the leg for rookies today. GREAT JOB!! Tim

Sounds like a fantastic idea to recruit new members. Thanks, Tim

Great talking with you this evening AJ. It was a fun time. Good luck with the rest of the race. Tim

AJ, I found this on-line this evening: The first car is expected to roll into the Bayfront Festival Park around 5:15 p.m. and more cars should filter in minutes afterward, as each driver leaves each stop one minute apart from each other. So, I will make sure I am there prior to 5:15. Thanks, Tim

Thanks AJ. I will look to see what I can find out. Hopefully, I will have a chance to meet you tomorrow. I am really looking forward to seeing the cars. Tim

Thanks AJ for your postings on this race. It has been very exciting to follow your progress. One quick question, I am going to be going to Duluth, MN tomorrow and wonder what time the cars will begin to arrive tomorrow afternoon/evening? I look forward to seeing some of the cars I have seen in your postings. Thanks, Tim

Just curious if anyone knows what time the first car will arrive in Duluth, MN on Friday? I am planning to travel there and don't want to be late. Thanks, Tim

Hi Paul, This is the information from the AACA 2022 Judging Guidelines https://aaca.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/AACA_2022_Judging_Guidelines.pdf related to tires (Section 2 pages 21-23): 9. Prior to 1915, tires must be matched in pairs (front and rear), but spares need not match anything on the vehicle except each other. (If there's more than one size spare, they will naturally differ.) 10. The following items are accepted for judging without penalty under the "grandfather clause" due to their initial acceptance in the beginning of the judging program. a. Whitewall tires, must be proper size designation and proper style. b. 1941 – Last use of double whitewall tires. 11. Tires on all vehicles must be as specified by the manufacturer. Specific brand is unimportant. They must be nearest the correct size, if the correct size is not available. Tubeless tires with a tube will be allowed without removing the wording "tubeless" on vehicles that did not come with tubeless tires. Tubeless tires were introduced in 1955 for cars and light trucks and in 1956 for heavy trucks. 12. A tire with an incorrect sidewall is considered an improper tire. 13. The following identifies the first year of tire sizing for the various designations. Tire Documentation Owners not able to find a correct replacement tire should send a letter to the VP Judging indicating the specific size of the correct tire and that at least two tire manufacturers have been contacted and the correct tire is not available. Tires one size larger or smaller are acceptable. A letter from the VP Judging is the ONLY AACA ACCEPTED documentation regarding a vehicles' substitute tires. Any letter issued by the VP Judging should be shown to the Team Captain at the time of vehicle judging. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE TEAM CAPTAIN ASK FOR DOCUMENTATION FOR ANY TIRE THAT IS QUESTIONED BY THE CHASSIS JUDGE OR DOES NOT MEET THE FIRST YEAR OF MANUFACTURE GUIDELINES LISTED BELOW. Some manufacturers offered a radial tire – for specific vehicle(s) – as a factory authorized option to the standard issue ply tire. The use of red line radials on a vehicle should be accompanied with documentation. It is advisable to seek documentation from the vehicle owner when a tire size or type is in question. This is especially so in cases of limited production, specialty vehicles, and foreign made vehicles. a. LETTER SIZE TIRES (e.g., G78-15, GR78-14, etc.): 1967. b. RADIAL TIRES (e.g., 185R14, 175R13, etc.), Domestic Cars. (Factory documentation is required for any vehicle with radial tires prior to the years listed below.) Some domestic manufacturers offered these tires as early as 1967, such as Buick and Oldsmobile. It is possible that others may have offered them as well. BEFORE taking any deductions, the Team Captain will ask the owner for documentation. Note: European built vehicles can be much earlier. Japanese vehicles 1967, possibly earlier. c. LOW PROFILE METRIC RADIALS (e.g., P195/70R13, P195/70VR14). Domestic Cars as early as 1979. European cars 1969*, Japanese cars 1975*. *Also refer to above Note when judging foreign-made vehicles. 14. Valve stems must be metal prior to 1930 and must be the same as originally supplied on the vehicle. Documentation may be required. Fords will have metal valve stems through 1934. Rubber valve stems may be used on any vehicle, prior to 1935, that was originally equipped with metal stems, if completely covered with authentic valve cover, atop a retainer nut fastened to the rim. In all cases, it must appear as original equipment. 15. Plastic valve caps will receive a one point each deduction if used on any vehicle prior to 1951. “Red Crown” valve caps are not accepted on any vehicle. Red plastic valve caps (not “Red Crown”) will be accepted on Whizzer motorbikes. 16. Wheel weights will be considered a safety item; therefore there will be no deduction for wheel weights if installed in a workmanlike manner. They may be painted. I hope this is the information you were looking for. Thanks, Tim

Hi Cutlasguy, Give NAPA a try. I have had good luck with them in the past. Tim

Thanks Steve, I was thinking there was a class for SUV'S. Here is the description: Tim

Glad to hear that you had a great time. Tim

Jeff, According to the show flyer, All Vehicles must be on the Nationals Field by 11 AM and that is when judging begins. Here is the information for tomorrow: Tim

Thanks Annie for posting the great pictures from the show in Lake Las Vegas. Tim
