NACJR is proud to announce the inaugural issue of the SHiFT Newsletter and, coming soon to the site, the SHiFT Podcast, hosted by Jay Quail, a highly respected judge, trainer, and mentor. Jay is the former CEO of The Classic Car Club of America (CCCA). He has judged Concours events worldwide, and is highly regarded as an expert in pre-war classics from 1915-1942. Quail has produced multiple training videos and served as the trainer for apprentice judges at the Hilton Head Island Concours d'Elegance & Motoring Festival. 

Jay is preparing an exciting lineup of all things Concours-judging related. The newsletter and podcast will be packed with interviews, instructional tips and insights to the judging profession. For example, it's a great way for concours and other major car shows to share announcements honoring retiring judges, apprenticeship opportunities and marque-specific training. For exhibitors, it provides insight into concours judging standards. 

We invite you to submit your news, announcements and article suggestions to Jay through info@NACJR.com. Just enter the words, SHIFT News in the subject line. We would love to hear from you!
