GOLD CERTIFICATION®
Gold Certfied means that a Corvette has been "preserved in" or "restored to" within 95% of the way it appeared when it left the factory...no better, no worse, no different.
Our standards for authenticity and condition are simple but difficult. The goal is to attain historic perfection - not cosmetic perfection. Typically, that can be much more difficult to attain. Our highly-qualified judges have been known for their knowledge, courtesy and consistency for 30 years. Gold Certification influenced the direction that organizations, collectors and our industry have followed ever since.

REGISTRATION
$450 per Corvette -- Includes 2 GoldPasses for Thur, Fri, Sat, & Sun (Register Online)
NOTE: Registration is not "First Come, First Served". Registration closes June 1, 2009
Lottery Information: If any class exceeds ten (10) registered Corvettes by March 19, 2009 at 5:00 pm CST, a lottery will be held to determine which cars will be judged and which ones will be placed on the waitlist. To be eligible for the lottery, your signed registration form and fee must be received by March 19 at 5:00 pm CST. Registrations received after March 19 will be put in sequence on the waitlist (in the order they were received) if your class is already full.
If your class did not proceed to lottery on March 19, your Corvette was accepted for judging.
Policy on Owners with Multiple Cars in a Lottery Situation:
In the case of a lottery situation where an owner has multiple cars entered into a class, all cars will be entered into the lottery and drawn at random with the other entrants. However, after an owner has had one car drawn and placed in a class, any subsequent drawings of that owner's cars will be placed into the waitlist.
Lottery results will be posted on this web page no later than 9:00 pm CST on March 19, 2009.
