Maybe the Judges will just be like the referees in the NFL and NBA, e.g, pretend they didn't see it.

Wayne Carini on the Velocity Channel (now Motor Trend) found a Stutz Bearcat in an old garage, cleaned it up, took it to the Peeble Beach Concourse d' Elegance and entered it in the Presevation Class. I'm not sure if he changed the fan belt but I think he ran it with the original tires and won. They did cheat because they didn't want to take the gas tank off to clean it so they hid a fuel cell where the judges couldn't see it.
