[DML] Re: Concours Competiton

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

What I'm having a particularly hard time following is your personal 
crusade against the concours judging. Especially now that it is out 
of DMCH control. 

If you don't like looking at near-perfect cars, then don't. If you 
don't want to enter your car, then don't. No one is twisting your 
arm. As long as there are 2-6 owners who do want to enter such a 
competition, and they can find enough people that will spend the time 
and effort to do the judging, how is it harming anything? Ken 
essentially allows it to happen, and puts relatively little personal 
effort into the concours part of the show. He is essentially just 
facilitating it for those who are interested. It's a pretty small 
part of the show. 

Believe it or not there are people interested in this aspect of the 
hobby, just like there are people interested in wildly modified cars 
(and trucks), rare prototypes, BTTF conversions, and daily drivers.
