Concours is the focal point of CIP. Cars are displayed & judged for cleanliness by car classes. Judging for Concours is done by an independent group of judges who are chosen by sponsors.
Concours will occur on Saturday, 30 August 2008. Each car will be judged strictly by cleanliness so that everyone will have a fair chance. Judging will begin at 10:00 a.m.
Winners will be announced at the Awards Banquet. There will also be a Judging Class for Best in Show & a general public voting class for People's Choice. Trophies are chosen by sponsors & paid for from the Club treasury.
