Additional NAMGAR car classes are:
Altered A
This car class consists of vehicles from any factory manufactured class that required structural modification to the frame or body to install components resulting in the car not falling into its factory manufactured car class. No vehicle in the Altered A car class will progress to the Premier Class.
Premier
This car class consists of vehicles in any factory manufactured car class (as listed above except for Altered A) which wins in class in the car show at a National GT. Upon winning its class, the vehicle must then compete in the Premier Class for five years. If it wins the Premier Class within the five year period, it shall be shown in the Premier Emeritus Class for the balance of the five year period. At the end of the five year period, the car may remain in Premier Emeritus or return to its factory manufactured car class at the next National GT car show. If the vehicle places first in its class a second time, it would then be eligible to compete for a second Premier award.
Premier Emeritus
This car class consists of Premier cars as outlined above as well as any car so designated by the NAMGAR Chairman or Vice Chairman. There is no pewter awarded to this class; it is not a voted class.
Preservation
This car class recognizes those cars that the owners feel are "original". Cars in this class are not eligible for NAMGAR class awards, Premier or Premier Emeritus; it is not a voted class.
Other British
This car class consists of any British-manufactured car not identified above and is open to non-NAMGAR attendees. Even though this is a voted class and the winner receives a pewter awards, no vehicle in the Other British car class will progress to the Premier Class. This class is offered during the GT at the discretion of the Host Committee and is not required.
To qualify for any awards given at a National GT, the registrant must be a NAMGAR member.
