Just had to share, now that the shock is wearing off. Our 92 Polar Silver Cab won best in Class at the inaugural Rocky Mountain Concours, on the fairways of the Broadmoor, this past weekend. Beat out a 959 Sport, Abarth Carrera, and others. Shock is too mild a word, although I did spend over 30 hours cleaning it in preparation (real Concours folks know that isn't a whole lot, but sounds impressive otherwise, and was all the time ). The car was looking good, and the judges even remarked on its mileage (it's at 104K, but is in concours condition).



This Concours was a biggie - they're trying to play in the league with Pebble Beach, Amelia Island, etc, and did a good job, drawing several Pebble cars, and many very significant cars overall (including 5 Bugattis). About 200 cars total were there.



I posted some photos at: http://picasaweb.google.com/lennonphoto/2007RMConcours. Enjoy!



Also, just found out that the speed yellow CGT there was wrecked on the way from the concours grounds to the parking garage at the end of the day. Too fast around a corner, lost the back end, complete 360, over curb, through an iron fence, through some bushes, and into a tree. Apparently the right side of the car is completely gone (and the left side doesn't look great). Would appear to be a total loss - not much left. See attached pdf.

I'll have to do that. They were pretty cool - made out of stone in the shape of mountains (pretty appropriate). Quite heavy!

Wow, Chris - that's truly great!!! Makes me feel good to have been parked next to you in Hershey. The photos show that it was a serious event - and if it grows, it'll truly be competitive with the others you note. Well done on all fronts.
