[DML] Re: DCS Awards

[Shannon Yocom <ssdelorean@xxxxxxxxx>]

Of those 9 or 10 shows how many of them was your car pitted against 100 or more
cars that were basically exactly the same car? I would guess you may have been
the only DeLorean there. At DCS putting the DeLoreans in a milage category allows
for more than just one "DeLorean" award and gives better odds for owners to win a
category. Just like gambling a 1 in 10 chance is better than 1 in 100. And in the
promoter's eyes if the odds are up, participation is usually up as well. 

Millage categories also gives those high millage daily driver owners a better
chance at an award so they don't have to compete against someone who keeps their
car in a garage all year having a car that looks like new.

After saying that I feel I need to comment since I am one of those high milage
drivers. Don't think I am saying that so I can win an award... I was just trying
to explain the DCS milage categories. Personally I don't "need" to be judged, but
think it is fun to see how my car stacks up against the others. However, I would
think it would be interesting to see how some of the high milage cars stack up
against the lower milage cars.

This year I attended 9 or 10 car shows.  I entered/displayed my car in
6 of them.  In every show there was some sort of judging - admittedly
not all concours - but more of the people' choice.  In not a single
one of them were there any divisions by mileage. 

BTW, these comments are not prompted by any desire on my part to enter
or to win any awards.  Just a personal preference.
