I spent a lot of time prepping my driver 964 C2 for our local concours and with the fikse wheels it was a nightmare cleaning job. Drove the car in the rain to the event and had limited cleaning time. Great news they didn't ding me for any brake dust but they were kind enough to ding me for no wheel dressing on my tires. I had dressed them before the drive but it washed off in the rain. I had a perfect exterior score except 4 point deduction for no wheel dressing when we were instructed 1/10 point deductions. My tires were clean and it should have been .4 deduction tops which would have given me 2nd palce. The consensus was I have too many trophies so give someone else a chance. LOL I was happy to see Eric and his gorgeous 993C2S take first. His second Concours with his beautiful car.

The worlds most subjective sport. We must be crazy to do this but the cars do get lots of attention which is nice to see. Trophies are just the icing the real prize is the admiration.

Car looks great as always.
^^^ your judging was tough.^^^

Zone 7, we wouldn't deduct 4x, the wheel deduction would be .10 and a personal note on the score sheet for next time. Some judges are just jerks on how they score regardless of what the "rules" are for a particular event.
