A Corvette restorer's ultimate goals were once to achieve the most prestigious Corvette awards: The Gold Spinner Concours Award, The Bloomington Gold Certificate† and an N.C.R.S. Top Flight Award. But, times have changed.

Once a Corvette has attained these three prestigious awards, what next? The next step is the "Triple Crown" Award.

The Triple Crown Award was jointly founded by Gold Spinner Concours President, Noland Adams and the directors of the Chevy/Vettefest Nationals, to honor those Corvettes which have achieved the paramount level in the evaluation of Corvette originality and condition. These Corvettes are exposed to the most stringent criteria in the evaluation of originality, condition and attention to detail.

Once a Corvette has achieved a Bloomington Gold Certificate and an N.C.R.S. Top Flight Award, an owner must enter their Corvette in both the Gold Spinner Concours and The Triple Crown, concurrently. If that Corvette qualifies for a Gold Spinner Award, it will simultaneously have achieved the "Triple Crown" status. Corvettes which succeed in this effort will receive a Triple Crown Award and certificate and then be registered with the Triple Crown Registry.

If your Corvette currently holds a Bloomington Gold Certificate and an N.C.R.S. Top Flight award, and you would like to go for the Triple Crown, just print a copy of the registration form and mail with payment to Championship Auto Shows. Be sure to enclose a copy of your Bloomington Gold Certificate and verification of your N.C.R.S. Top Flight status.
