Willing to listen to anyone with tips on the do's and don'ts. Is there an "etiquette" to the game?

Rules of etiquette differ from event to event. PCA rules are fairly consistent, be it a regional or national event.
Some primary rules are: No junk in the car. Owners manual in the glovebox & all other things out. No misc paperwork. No floor mats, etc. The way it was delivered. Whether or not the front compartment items come out for display depends on event rules. Most events these days leave the spare & tools in the car, but read the event instructions. Stay with your car & keep dusting off until you are told to stop. You should generally not touch your car when the judges begin judging your class. Stay out of the way of the judges. They really get irritated when you follow them around like a puppy. Stand back from the car & allow them to do their job. Only speak when spoken to - they will probably ask questions about you car - answer to the best of your knowledge. The judges are usually well-versed in your model, so don't try to scam them. Make certain all of your cleaning supplies are put away (not in the car!). A cluttered display area detracts from your car. Get your supplies as far away as possible. |

You mean I'm not restricted from walking around my competitors car with an ice cream cone in hand while surveying their engine compartments?

You mean I'm not restricted from walking around my competitors car with an ice cream cone in hand while surveying their engine compartments? Restricted only by etiquette. One thing I've had problems with in the past is people's kids. I'm not trying to bash kids, but they should be reminded by the parents that the the event is not a "please touch" event. I've undoubtedly made some mothers angry by reminding them of this. They don't realize how much time & effort we have in our cars to make them ready for judging. I like to have fun at these things, but when the judges hit the field, it's time to be very serious. |
