Concours 2007

Post by Judge »

Well, other than the Autoglym and Meguiar's concours events, the MMOC Concours season is over for another year.

Therefore to make 2007 an even better year than 2006, I would like to ask for your input, and for you to make suggestions for the future.

So come on, please lets have your thoughts :D

OK, how about a 5000 miles limit on street cars/ daily use cars. I use mine a lot and through the winter but only do just under 5000 miles a year, the current limit is just too high.

Although I am inclined to agree with you John, unfortunately I have absolutely nothing to do with condition class judging. May I suggest that you e-mail Sandy Hamilton at AFJHamilton@aol.com

Hi Richard
I am sure that could be arranged under the normal terms of free entry for the the judges etc (would have to include flights :D )
A few of us would gratefully attend as support crew etc.
Cheers

I would like to restore a car to a condition sufficent to compete in concours, but before even considering doing this, I'd like to know where points would be lost.

Part of this process, once I know whats expected would be honing my restoration skills to I'm up to potential concours standard! For example, if a Judge saw plug welding where there was originally spot welding, would that lose points?
Cheers John - all comments IMHO
