Quote: So Dave , does this mean that we will never really know what these phantom deductions were? Jules
Not to deviate too far from the subject but I have "fixed" the few things that were deducted on the Challenger and it would probably score higher than the Valiant at this point. The car missed 17 points for oil on the bare metal components and 4.5 points on some minor flaws that have since been fixed. As soon as I have completely transformed the oil covered parts with the RPM dry preservative, I would think that it would get very-very-very close to a perfect score. (Based on the Judging sheet that I was given in 2008.) I wonder how it would do if I re-entered it in the OE circuit? Would there be things that were suddenly "overlooked" the first time in order to keep it from getting a perfect or almost perfect score?
