Hello everyone in Sunbeam land!
Steve and I have already addressed on a previous e-mail, how much we
enjoyed Tigers United XXII at Eureka, so now, let's try to turn the
negative vibes into a constructive dialogue.
The question is "How Do We Put On A Concours, Judge The Cars Fairly,
Make It Fun, And Do It All In A Resonable Amount Of Time?"
Not so easy, is it? Especially when you take into consideration that
there is a time limitation, a limited amount of people who want to judge
and have enough knowledge of the cars, and the questions and politics
involved in setting up the different concours classes.
Paul Reisentz makes some very good points, and we are sympathetic to
those who have spent so much time and money and efforts on their cars.
Since we are the TUXXIII Big Bear Chairs, we want to put on an event
that people will enjoy. We harbor no illusions that we can make
everyone happy, but we want to what is right.
Two things that we are adamant about is that every participant has a
right to have their car judged if they wish and that the criteria for
the event will be set by January 1, 1998. Also, the autocross will most
likely be run on Saturday and the concours on Sunday.
Please, we are very interested in other opinions, so let us know your
ideas. One positive that I see from all of this is that there is not as
much apathy regarding our events and C.A.T. as I feared.
Suggestions?
Jane Sage
