Chesapeake Challenge 54: Concours By: Paul Koenigsmark; Photos: Steve Graham
The weather forecast was a bit dicey in the morning, but the skies cleared, and we had a beautiful autumn day for the Concours display. There was a good selection of cars, including two 1957 356 Speedsters, a couple long hood 911s, along with 964, 993, 996, 997, 991 and 992 generation 911s. Completing the 911 cars were two GT3RS models. Boxster’s and Caymans were also well represented and even included two GT4s. The Concours field was rounded out with a Macan and a 944. There were 12 cars competing in Full Concours, and 14 cars competing in Street-Prepared Concours. Both events are similar in that we judge how well each car is prepared. Full Concours is the more comprehensive of the two. It includes judging of storage areas and engine, whereas in StreetPrepared these are not judged. In both events we are considering the car's exterior and interior. Additionally, we host a Display class that allows non-judged cars to be part of a special display. If you have not entered one of our Concours events before, and want to learn what is involved, consider attending the Concours Preparation School we offer next year. Looking for a way to volunteer with PCA Chesapeake? Consider becoming a Concours Co-Chair. This is a non-elected position that is part of the Chesapeake Region's Board. You will be assisting with planning and execution of the Preparation School, Judging School and the Chesapeake Challenge event. This position is now open as David Dukehart will be devoting his time to commitments with the Mercedes Gull Wing Group as President. I wish to thank David for all his contributions to Concours this year. His efforts helped make our Preparation School, Judging School, and the Chesapeake Challenge the successes that they were.
