Ed,
    I am a member, and former VP, of chapter 152, which handles SERFI
judging under the supervision of Dick Simpson. Dick mentioned that there was
a bit of a squabble down there, but as you pointed out, said he had no
guidelines to operate under.
    This was Dick's last year as head judge, but Dave Richardson (also one
of our guys) will be taking his place. Both Dick and Dave are either
building or flying auto powered aircraft. Dick is starting on a Fisher Tiger
Moth with a Suzuki, and Dave has finished and is about to fly a Dragonfly
with a VW. They will sincerely work to get this done right. Dick is kinda
short and gruff, but he is a great guy and quite a craftsman.
    If you or anyone else has any idea how to contact the folks at SNF or
OSH that put together the judging of the auto conversion class, that would
probably be the best place to start.  Mike C.
