R10 Concours - This coming Sunday!

[Guest]

Porsche Club Region 10 2005 Street Concours (Show and Shine) Sunday 21st August Royal Leamington Spa Polo Club, near Southam
The Region 10 concours is a "˜Show and Shine' or "˜Pride of Ownership' competition. The emphasis is on fun. All are welcome no matter what Porsche you drive. Just give it a wash and turn up.

In our competition any Porsche member who shows up can take part in the scoring. Each person marks each car out of 10 in each of 4 categories (Body, Interior, Glass and Wheels), so no need to worry about the engine bay, underneath the car or the luggage compartments! Then all the scores are added up, a handicap system applied, much number crunching then ensues and finally the winners are revealed.

We are limited to 36 cars in the competition on a first come first served basis but you can still take part in the scoring even if your car is not in the competition itself. Prizes and trophies will be awarded to highest scorers in the following categories:

• • Best early water-cooled (covering 924, 944, 928 and 968 etc)
    Best modern water-cooled (covering 996, Boxster and Cayenne etc)
    Best pre-1980 (356, 550's, 912, 914 and early 911 etc)
    Best air-cooled (covering 911's through to 993)
    Best visitor (non-R10 members) One of the first four will also be the "Overall Winner" for 2005.
    
    

In addition, there will be prizes for "favourite car" and best bodywork. Last year we were under represented in the "˜Early Air-cooled' and "˜Early Water cooled' categories so come on those 356's, early 911's, 924's 944's, 968's and 928's lets see you!

The schedule is as follows: -

08:00 Gates open (for Polo ponies and insomniacs)
11:00 Normal people and those wishing to enter the concours arrive
12:00 Latest arrival time for concours entrants
12:30 Judging begins
14:30 Judging completed
16:00 Results and Presentations

There will be a number of Polo games being played throughout the day and there is also a BBQ and carvery in the main pavilion on a pay for what you eat basis.

Welcome back Mr McM []

in the following categories:

Thanks Andy / Graham, but where is the category marked:- "Oh come-on guys, give me a break, as this car was really well raced in it's early career and no matter how you view it it's only now just getting back on it's feet" ...Class

I think if this one exists, I'll enter my car. But if not, I'll sulk at the back of the class with "Dirty inside rear screen and can't be asked to clean it Glenn"[]

Don't worry guys I have the trophies and have a new class for this year the "410 HP +" category to give Glenn and Maxine two chances of winning []

I hope you all realise that nobody really stands a chance of winning the air cooled category this year as Andy has just taken the whole week off work just to polish his rims !!

Looking forward to a good turnout on Sunday ..

i am very tempted to bring my 912 and also my 944 which needs to have some running in miles put on it..

but, we also need to spend some time in our garden as we have been fully booked up with porsche stuff for most of the summer[8D] and it's not over yet []
