2018 CORVETTES AT CARLISLE / CARLISLEEVENTS.COM 19CHIP MILLER
ABOUT CHIP MILLER
Chip Miller was known worldwide for his resilient positive attitude, his passion for Corvettes, his tremendous
personal Corvette collection and for creating the grandest Corvette event anywhere on the planet — Corvettes
at Carlisle.
In December 2003, Chip was diagnosed with a little-known disease called Amyloidosis. Sadly, due to
complications from the Amyloidosis, the world lost an incredibly special human being on March 25, 2004. Had
Chip and his doctors been aware of the symptoms of the disease when they first presented, this legend might
still be with us today.
OUR MISSION
The mission of the Chip Miller Amyloidosis Foundation (CMAF) is to empower people with the knowledge and
understanding of Amyloidosis for earlier detection, ensuring a better quality of life for those afflicted with the
disease and to help science find the cures.
ABOUT AMYLOIDOSIS
Amyloidosis occurs when enough abnormal protein, called amyloid, builds up in one or more organs to cause a
malfunction. As an abnormal protein, amyloid originates in bone marrow. The heart, kidneys, nervous system
and gastrointestinal tract are most often affected by the disease.
Signs and symptoms of Amyloidosis depend on the organs affected. The wide range of symptoms makes it
difficult to diagnose.
YOUR SUPPORT IS APPRECIATED
During Corvettes at Carlisle, you can support the CMAF by buying merchandise, making a donation or by
attending the benefit dinner. Additional events take place throughout the year to support the Foundation.
Please visit our website, www.chipmiller.org, for more information about these events.
Merchandise Sales
You can buy merchandise at CMAF Hospitality in Building R during Corvettes at Carlisle.
BENEFIT DINNER
This annual fundraising event is held on Friday evening during Corvettes at Carlisle at the Carlisle Expo
Center. Enjoy a buffet-style dinner with beverage bar, the opportunity to mingle with Corvette dignitaries,
several guest speakers, a silent auction, door prize and, of course, Corvettes!
Tickets are $75 and a limited number will be sold at the door just before the event begins. You can
pre-register online for next year and get your ticket for $60 if purchased before the deadline.
Chip’s Circle V.I.P. Package
Consider joining Chip’s Circle next year. It is a package that includes two tickets to the Benefit Dinner plus a
lot of exciting perks! See our website for all the details and to sign up for next year.

NCRS Now Judging Modified ANTIQUE • CLASSIC • RODS
Corvettes
The National Corvette Restorers Society
(NCRS) is now judging modified and custom-
ized C1 - C4 Corvettes. NCRS is recognized
as the premier organization in the collector car
hobby and their judging standard for restored
Corvettes is “the way it left the factory, no better, Roof
and no worse.” ow Under One ience
We’re N Exper
The new program is called NCRS Concours
a rs C ombined
Judging. The NCRS has taken this bold step 50+ Ye
to include more Corvettes. It is now possible to
have your stock-appearing Corvette, that has a
crate motor under the hood, judged by NCRS
using an approach that is similar to that used
for judging restored Corvettes. Likewise, if you
have a resto-mod or custom, it now qualifies for
NCRS Concours Judging.
NCRS offers two divisions in its Concours
program. The Stock Division includes all
Corvettes that are basically stock-appearing
(fiberglass, body paint color, etc.) with the CORVETTE SPECIALISTS
hood, doors and trunk closed; wheels and We restore to NCRS standards
tires may be non-OEM in the Stock Division. 335 BISMARK ROAD, JACKSON, NJ
The Modified Division includes any modified
Corvette that does not qualify for the Stock (732) 833-6400
Division.
Like the NCRS Flight Judging system,
the NCRS Concours Judging program will
evaluate five distinct sections: Operations,
Interior, Exterior, Mechanical and Chassis.
Appearance is the only aspect judged in NCRS
Concours Judging. Originality will not be a
judging component. The owner can modify and
customize their Corvette as they desire and not
be subject to any originality penalty.
Because originality is not a component of
this new judging system, Trim Tags and Service
Parts Labels will not be evaluated, in fact, those
two items do not even need to be on the car
(subject, of course, to local laws and regula-
tions). However, all cars must have been born
as a Corvette, have an original VIN Tag, and
have a title/vehicle registration that states the
car is a Corvette (i.e. no kit cars).
NCRS will offer two different awards in each
of the divisions. The awards for the Stock
Division are named NCRS Blue Ribbon Award
and NCRS Red Ribbon Award. For the Modified
Division, the awards are named NCRS 427
Award and NCRS 327 Award.
See a sample of this new NCRS judging in
front of the Grandstand Saturday at 11 AM!
The NCRS will judge two of the Vette Rods from
the Chip’s Choice Display. You are welcome to
stop by and learn more about this new chapter
