the time of judging to confirm the VIN, engine number, interior and options as built. Upon request, PCNA will supply the official build data in a Certificate of Authenticity when the owner sends in proof of title (the procedure was recently updated and is described on the PCA national web site along with an application form). Normally, a team of five judges evaluates the car with all judges together evaluating each portion of the car and coming to a consensus on the scoring. In this group there are no numerical scores and the scoring sheets list a relative rating of excellent to incorrect in five steps along with the rationale for the rating. There is no fixed judging time for each car, but specific times may be imposed if there are a large number of entries. Preservation judging is "hands-off" and no demerits are assigned for chassis dirt or indications of normal wear such as rock chips. However, owners who enter in this group must recognize that parts do have to be clean enough so the judge can visually inspect the condition of an original part. Original surface conditions (such as color, degree of gloss, texture, etc.) are important. None of the preservation cars are perfect and over-restored components may be downgraded by the judges. Some entrants may have repainted areas on their car, which may or may not be a disadvantage, depending upon the competing entries. There is always a trade-off in the judge's mind between a component that has been refinished or possibly re-painted as the result of some accident but well preserved afterwards compared to a competing case where minor damage was never repaired and was left as is. These are decided by the judges on a case by case basis depending on number, extent and overall condition. Cars that are 100% factory original but not well preserved (poorly treated with a number of beat-up or overly-worn areas) may not do as well as cars with minor repairs in just a few places that depart from original but show an overall greater evidence of preservation on everything else. In the final analysis, Preservation Group judging is most similar to a "Judges Choice" type judging to the specified list of objectives in the PCR. Length of ownership and original listings of maintenance records for the car can be important positive evaluation factors. There are no specific mileage benefits, but the car's total mileage is now listed on the score sheets as a factor in the judges' evaluation of utilization level. In the past five years there was an increase of entrants in Preservation Group with very low mileage and little or no evidence of normal use. Even though utilization of the preserved car was always an important judging factor, the judging rules were modified to add a new division of Preserved Porsches (called "Low Mileaged") that have been driven less than 1000 miles per year. These low mileage cars are judged in this 6th separate division (Figure 1) for a division trophy, but are not considered as candidates for the overall Preservation trophy. The Performance Group, which was new in 2005, now includes Division TI for thoroughbred racers plus a second Division, MI, for 4.
