Concours Entry Standards
The Rotary club reserves the right to limit the number of entries accepted due to space limitations and judging restrictions. In addition to the regular classes listed there will be approximately 30 automobiles in keeping with the theme of the show "Celebrating American Royalty" for this year.
The Registration Committee will review all entries prior to acceptance to ensure Concours or show quality. Also, the Judging Committee reserves the right to add, delete or combine classes as appropriate. Cars entered for Concours judging will be judged for authenticity, preparation and elegance.
Rods and custom cars will be judged for style and finish.
Judging results are final and will not be released to car owners.
Class Awards will be presented for First, Second and Third places. However, the minimum points for awards in each class are 92 for First, 85 for Second and 75 for Third.
At the discretion of the judges, awards for best original car may also be made in selected classes.
