1st PCA concours event Saturday, Some final thoughts Options

[Big Len]

Having second thoughts now, but I've entered into a concours this coming weekend. I've never been to one so I'm thinking I might be over my head, especially in regards to originality.

I was told they're judging exterior, interior, storage spaces, and exterior wheels, no engine or chassis.

What kind of experience have you had and what should I concentrate on?

Is this the NNJR PCA "Concours on the green" at Rob's house? If so I was there last year. The judging was timed so they had 4 minutes per car. Usually two or three judges in a group. One did interior, one exterior & one overall appearance. No talking to the judges, just sit & watch. They looked for cleanliness, originality & condition overall. They checked underhood/trunk & tool kit also.

They did mine but I never got the results. It was fun to watch but knew I didn't have a chance when the guy next to me had a cordless vacuum, a store full of cleaning/polishing stuff & spent a long time detailing his car. The winners cars looked like they were never driven which is a shame but maybe they don't enjoy driving them & like to sit in a chair in the garage & stare at it. To each his own.

If I was you I would give it a quick cleaning job & just enjoy the day. Don't stress about it so if ya don't win it won't matter but if ya do you will be pleasantly surprised. There was no 914s last year at this event.
