Longtime
and prolific Hemmings Daily reader and commenter Greg Gjerdingen is
just coming to the end of his term as president of his local car club,
the Willmar Car Club, but he's also still serving as Car Show Chairman for the club and wanted to see what we thought about car show awards formats:
"The Willmar Car Club has had annual car show since 1981.
It has evolved into several trophy categories. There has been input from
some club members to change to a Top 50 (40, 60 or whatever) format.
Although I like sports and muscle cars, I always strive to provide
exposure to all aspects of the automotive spectrum. Does Top ## help or
discourage a wide variety of cars to participate in show? It would be
interesting to see what experiences or ideas commenters would have. I am
afraid that if we change formats it would be extremely difficult to
rebuild the sponsorship required to put on a show with multiple classes.
What type of venue do people prefer: car show, cruise in, concours?
Interesting things people have seen and enjoyed at a car event that
added to the experience, stuff like that there, don't cha know."
