[DML] Millennium Concours tip of the day (clock)

["ksgrimsr" <knut.s.grimsrud@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have been sharing some simple tips for concours participants on 
the dedicated Millenium Concours competitors forum, but I thought 
some of you might enjoy seeing some of these tips so I'll also share 
them here. If anyone is interested in the concours or just curious 
about additional details for the event, feel free to also check out 
the dedicated Millennium-Concours yahoo group where most of the 
event-specific discussion is being concentrated.

These tips generally come from deductions that have been encoutnered 
in the past that would have been trivial for the competitor to have 
avoided. I suspect Ken K learned some of these tips the hard way.

TIP: If you are bringing your car in from a different timezone or you
have had the battery disconnected during periods of storage, check
to ensure you have the correct local time on the console clock (or
the ASI radio clock). Getting a deduction because the battery had
been disconnected and you forgot to reset the clock is a real bummer
and something that is so easily avoided.

ORIGIN: The origin of the criteria in the handbook generally stem 
from various documents that have been discovered in the DMCH 
archives. My understanding is that the origin of this particular 
item is the pre-delivery inspection checklist which calls out that 
the clock be properly set for the local time where the car is being 
delivered.
