Concours Notes

Greetings concours participants to a New Year. Your board has scheduled 3 events for this year’s calendar. The first one is earlier than usual so don’t even think of putting the car away for the winter. After all we are in Southern California and every weekend is great. Sunday, February 27, is the first date at the Desert Classic Concours in La Quinta. We, as a club, will have a club corral on the Green of a spectacular golf course. You can drive up for the day and enjoy all the wonderful cars there on display or make a weekend of it. Details for the event are available at the link above. The second concours will be on June 5th in Huntington Beach, followed by The Best of France and Italy in Woodley Park on November 6, 2011. Details of coming events will be published in the Alfacionada as we get closer to the events.

For the New Year we are going to have a change in the judging. Be prepared to get up close and personal with the cars and their owners. If you enter a car, you will be chosen to be a judge. You will not get to judge your own car and you will not be on your own. It is a great opportunity to see how others prepare their cars and to view all the wonderful details that make up an Alfa. If you serve as a judge you will not be asked to serve in the next event. As an added bonus if you are selected to be a judge your entrance fee will be waived. Hope to see you all and the wonderful cars that you bring for all to see.
