during saac conv judging, is the any time given to correct any imperfections? ie bulb out, horn not working etc

Of course. You have all the time in the world up to the moment the team walks up to and introduces themselves to you as they start the process. At that same time if they notice that you still have your literature collection proudly displayed across your dash pad or filling your trunk, stuff animals perched on your air cleaner, do not touch magnetic  stickers on your fenders or the like they will ask you to correct these before they get started. 

Often members of the team will get a prep look at the cars in their class or classes before show day. Does not hurt to ask if they notice anything that stands out.  Of course they are not looking for a long debate or conducting a full going over but don't think any would not inform you that you left a piece of masking tape attached to something, the coil needs rotating, get rid of the CAUTION FAN sticker (am I the first to mention it on this new forum  and the like in other to help out.  Doesn't hurt to reach out before show day for details and help

As far as mechanical things test everything once you get on site and address it quickly. Gremlins show up every show - when your least expecting them. Many of us have been there.

I am reminded that in many occasions when there was possibly an issue with the paint I've asked the owner/representative it that would take a clean towel and wipe the spot to see if it goes away (something that has landed on the car or something else) This always seems to work ti the benefit of both the owner and the judge. If it goes away - its gone. If not then the owner/representative had confirmed there is an issue, is aware of it and knows its locations because they are likely going to see a note about it on their judging sheet


Good luck

Figured we could start this thread after the great loss.  So who will be the first?
