Concourse competition is a static contest for the best overall looking vehicle entered in competition.
A. Concourse will be held after the morning practice session but before actual competition begins, usually during or right after the mandatory drivers meeting.
B. Only event competitors may enter the Concourse Competition for a chance at winning prizes.
C. The general criteria for a winning concourse vehicle is a combination of the following factors:
1. Quality of the paint job
2. Use of color combinations
3. Use of vinyl accents
4. Originality of vehicle scheme
5. Scale detail
4. Overall execution
D. Motorized panels, engine mock-ups, light kits, simulated interiors, driver figures, external accessories, and other add-on details are permitted, but keep in mind that unless the “complete package” is presented, having just one or two of these “extras” will not necessarily give you the edge during Concourse Competition.
E. Each body can only win once, but each winning driver may enter another body in a different event. No multiple entries by the same person on the same day, and once a body wins a concourse event, it is no longer eligible to compete in another concourse event.
F. Concourse winning bodies must, at minimum, be used for qualifying on the same day that the body won the Concourse competition.
G. Bodies entered in Concourse Competition must be mounted on a running chassis. Chassis must have complete running gear, and should be capable of doing a ‘demo lap’ in case the judges want to see one.
H. Any chassis and body combination chosen as Concourse winner but not able to perform a demo lap will be disqualified.
I. Concourse competition is a vehicle competition; external “display” additions such as trailers, dioramas, or other non-vehicle scenery may be used but will not be a deciding factor when choosing a Concourse winner.
