JCRC REVISED CHANGES TO RULE BOOK CHAPTER 2
As a direct result of feedback from JCNA Concours Forum readers and from extensive discussion within the Judge's Concours Rules Committee (JCRC), the proposed changes, to Chapter 2 of the JCNA Concours Rule Book, (posted on November 13, 2003) have been revised. This new Chapter 2 is available for viewing or download, in its entirety, at the bottom left side of the 
pacbell.net>
Excepting last minute changes, this Chapter 2 revision will be presented for delegate ratification at the March 2004 AGM. The major changes to Chapter 2 with some explanatory comments follow.
1. Daimler eligibility has been generally clarified and specific eligibility is listed for classes within Champion, Driven, and Special Divisions. Only those models built by Jaguar and sharing recognized Jaguar bodies are eligible to compete in Champion or Driven Divisions.
2. The term "Street Legal" has been replaced by simply stating "Horn and Light Requirements". In practice, it proved to be unreasonable for either the Entrant or Judge to be aware of the implications of each state or province's definition of "Street Legal". The basic horn and light requirements are now listed and correspond to those items tested during the Mechanical checks.
3. Circumstances of "Owner Incapacitation" and "Ownership Change" have been added.
4. Unofficial "Display Division" is defined and participation encouraged.
5. "Protest Procedures" have been moved to Chapter 4.
6. "General Spirit" statements describe the intent of each Concours Division. The Champion and Driven Division statements emphasize authenticity and address the alteration and /or enhancement of original finishes and surfaces. A new Special Division has been added to accommodate competition, limited production and modified Jaguars, as well as replicas.
7. Champion Division Class Changes:
a. Classes 1a and 1b have been combined.
b. Competition Class 15 and Special Interest Class 16 have been moved to the new "Special Division", Classes S1 and S3 respectively.
c. Class C6 specifically includes Series 1.5 E-types.
d. Class C10 combines Series 1 and 2 XJ6/12 Saloons and Coupes (1968-79)
e. Class C11 is for Series III, XJ6/12 (1979-87) and International Series III, XJ12 (1979-92)
f. Class C12 is for XJ6 (XJ40) (1987-94), XJ12 (XJ40) (1993-94) and XJ6/12/R (X300) (1995-97)
g. Class C13 is for XJ8 (X308) (1998-2003) and XJ8 (X350 Alloy) (2004-on)

i. Class C15: XK8
j. Class C16: S-TYPE Sedans (1999-On).

9. Driven Division Class changes:
a. Classes D1 thru D6 are unchanged except for Daimler specifications.
b. Class D7: XJ6 (XJ40) Sedans (1988-94), XJ12 (XJ40) (1993-94); XJ6/12/R (X300) (1995-97)

10. Driven Division Authenticity exceptions:
Driven Division Entries are now allowed certain authenticity exceptions without penalty.
a. Tires- Any type or profile tires, of original inside diameter, are acceptable. Road tires must be of matching size, type, and make/brand.
Note: This exception is made for those drivers of early Jaguars who prefer the handling characteristics and superior construction of contemporary tires.
b. Wire Wheels- Wide wire wheels are acceptable. Hub style, diameter and spoke count must be as original. All road wheels must match.
Note: This exception is made to safely accommodate contemporary size tires.
c. Alloy Wheels- XJ6/12, XJS and XK8 factory-supplied alloy wheels, appropriate for the specific model, may be chrome plated or polished. All road wheels must match.
Note: This exception recognizes that many new car buyers believed that their Jaguar's chrome or polished alloy wheels had been provided by the factory when, in fact, the dealers had altered the original factory finish prior to offering the cars for sale.
d. Radios, Tape and CD Players- Contemporary radios, tape, or CD players installed in the original radio mounting space, utilizing the original speaker locations and external housings.
Note: This exception is made to provide the frequent driver with the option of a modern system with improved audio, capable of playing tapes, CD's or the media du jour.
11. Driven Division Championship Eligibility in Consecutive Years - Has been changed to read:
"The year's North American Championship, Driven Division award winners are encouraged (but not required) to step up to the Champion Division the following year. Entrants may continue Driven Division competition at their discretion."
12. Special Division General Spirit:
Special Division is intended for factory and non-factory-prepared competition and limited production Jaguars; production Jaguars privately prepared for competition; modified production Jaguars and Jaguar powered vehicles with replica Jaguar bodies. The interiors, exteriors, engine compartments and boots of Special Division cars are judged ONLY for condition and cleanliness, NOT for authenticity.
(Note that ALL cars entered in Special Division, including Class S3 Modified will have their Interiors, Exteriors, Engine Compartments and Boots judged for condition and cleanliness.)

Entries must be equipped with functional horns, headlights, tail lights, brake lights, parking lights, license plate lights, back-up lights and turn signals appropriate to the vintage.
b. To be eligible for Class S3, the Entry must clearly have a minimum of 35 points of deductions for non-authentic, judged items. Those deductions may NOT include the tire, wheel or radio authenticity exceptions currently allowed in Driven Division (Section 3.A.1). The Entrant (using the appropriate form available in the "Concours" section of www.jcna.com) must provide a list of the non-authentic items to the Chief Judge well in advance of the scheduled start of judging.
