Event requirements

The Concours will be held Saturday morning from 9:00-11:00 AM in the parking garage, on the roof if it's nice, and on the 5th level if raining. Car staging and final prep will be from 7:00-8:45 AM, with judging starting promptly at 9:00 AM. Trophies will be awarded at the Awards Banquet.

A Concours is a competitive car show to award recognition to the owners of automobiles that are best prepared and presented. There are many classes, but we break them down into three main groups: “Street”“Touring Group One”, and “Touring Group Two” (see Appendix A on the drop down box when you register).  For more information about classes please see Concours class descriptions.

“Street” (also called "Wash and Shine"): This involves the judging of the car's interior and exterior only (no engine, trunk, or undercarriage). Originality is not a consideration, only cleanliness. "Street" is the class for those interested in showing their cars with some preparation, but not HOURS of meticulous cleaning. 

“Touring Group One”: This judging category takes into consideration the interior, exterior, engine, and storage compartments. The judges look for cleanliness, quality of preparation, lack of damage, and presentation. 

“Touring Group Two”: This judging category takes into consideration the interior, exterior, and storage compartments, and applies to newer Porsches where the engine is not readily accessible.
