my first goal if my car passes the very tough PV judging will be the: NCRS Dave Hill Award. NCRS HILL Mark of Excellence Award® This award was created by the National Corvette Restorers Society in honor of Mr. David C. Hill, Chief Engineer for the Chevrolet Corvette from November 18, 1992 until his retirement January 1, 2006. The Hill Award recognizes individuals for the restoration and preservation of 1993 - 1996 Corvettes.. To achieve this coveted award, an owner must attain a judging score of at least 97% out of 100 based on an original "as manufactured" standard at a National or Regional NCRS event; as well as present the car for a rigorous performance test of all vehicle mechanical components and functions, all of which must operate as those of a new car, without a single failure. Finally, the car must again score at least 97%, at a National NCRS Convention, to receive the Hill Award. The process of achieving the Hill Award requires attendance at a minimum of three events, and must be completed within a three year period. Only 23 Corvettes have achieved the Hill Mark of Excellence. Dave Hill has personally awarded the special plaque bearing his name at our annual NCRS National Convention.

Here we go again...
Quote: "not many 1995's have Top Flights" Dave Can you use your (and the Registry's) influence to find out how many ZR-1s? 1990-94 too, while your at it... Doug. Last edited by Mystic ZR-1; 09-18-2014 at 04:54 PM. Reason: " |

Re: 1995 # 273 Achieved a NCRS TOP FLIGHT and now...
As an NCRS member I requested that info by vin and was told they do not track such info???
The Corvette Restorer magazine, Vol 41, Number 1 Summer 2014 provided a matrix with car yrs 53-96, the number that has been awarded Top Fight, 2nd Flight and the rest of the awards thru NCRS. What is missing with the C4 yrs is a separate breakdown for the ZR1s. An example, 1990 shows 97 cars achieving Top Flight status, 16 PV, 15 McLellan, 5 Cross Flag. The question is of the above numbers how many are ZR1s? For 1995 there are 7 Hill Awards.

Assuming NCRS has the vin number of every car it has ever judged,
all they'd have to do is sort the vin number list for Z23. That is assuming they have a computer (perhaps a TRS80, they like old things...) and aren't still using a pencil and paper. |

Re: 1995 # 273 Achieved a NCRS TOP FLIGHT and now...
THANK YOU all for the kind words
The NCRS Reginal Meet Is less than a week away I am constantly going over all the things that will be juged in Performance Verification there are 3 pages of line items and a 10mile "road Test" you can only score 100% 1 failure and your pretty much done ( they do give you 1 chance to fix one problem ) But unless it's a bulb or a fuse what can you fix when your miles from home with a 15 minute time limit. I will say I am Really learning more about the 95 c4 as a car, how things should operate correctly and all of its creature comforts.
