I decided to go to the PCA Monterey Bay Region concours in Carmel Valley with my newly restored car and participate in the street category as I had changed my wheels to 5 bolt 6X16 Fuchs because I have always wanted those wheels on my car. This is the first concours I have ever entered in so I was not familiar with exactly what they were looking for. When I got there 3 different people told me I should go full concours because they said my car was nice enough and the rules had changed about originality and only really mattered in the preservation category so I could get away with the 5 bolt wheels in the full concours class. I had not anticipated going full concours so I didn't clean the back sides of the wheels or the under the car. I did take a first place in my class because I was the only one, BUT I did get 247.25 points out of 250 total possible. I got dinged 1.75 points for dirt behind the wheels , under the car and a spot in the engine compartment. If I had been prepared, I may have scored a 249 out of 250. It was a lot of fun and I met a bunch of really nice people. The next event I will spend a lot more time cleaning down under!
