Looks like the Concours will be on Saturday, September 30, 2023 from 8:00 am – 11:00 am at Fort Adams in Newport.
I am on the fence about paying $50 to display my CS.

 

[adawil2002]

Well, $50 for display or $75 to be judged or spectator parking.

My car is being judged, guaranteed parking & may get an award.

 

[Stan]

I plan to bring my car to be judged.

I think you east coast guys could learn to be judges and then share your knowledge.

 

[Stan]

Andrew and I are both judges

I will be showing a 1952 Nardi Danese BMW (currently powered by a Ford motor) at the Audrain concours in the etceterini class. Hope to bump into you there. Not sure the plan for the rest of the weekend, yet...

The 14 judges from the BOSTON CHAPTER BMW CCA Concours volunteered. We had a Zoom call training where our guest presenter was none other than the illustrious Paul Cain! The Concours event last Sunday was the first time the dot system was used in this venue. Progress!

Anyone else coming? @Ohmess Doug Dolan, @E9Wayne @Stevehose

The toughest BMW event I ever had the pleasure to judge was the E30 M3 SIG Fest at Lime Rock. 70 plus M3s in Tuner, Road Warrior, Best Stock & Judges Choice. As I recall there were 20 White/Black cars lined up. I learned more during judging that day, so the past Boston Concours was straight forward & easy.

1994-2005 when we lived in Connecticut with the Fairfield County Horseless Carriage Club & Fairfield County Antique Car Club of America, I was a regular judge.

I'll see you guys Sat am at Fort Adams when the Nardi starts off on the Audrain Tour. Hoping for good weather!

 

[Stan]

The weather was poor and some dropped out.
So, it is not Quail, but I am happy!
First place, Concours

That's just awesome, Stan! Congratulations. So well deserved.
