2015 BMW CCA

MJM · 07-08-2015, 08:33 PM

I am the co-chair of this event and I would like to invite all BMWCCA
Members to attend the 2015 Concours d'Elegance Event sponsored by Turner Motorsports. This year the event will be held on Sunday August 9, 2015 at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum (http://larzanderson.org/). That means you have all day on Saturday to get your BMW ready!!! (Please note the Larz Anderson Museum lists this event as BMW CCA Day.)

Last year we had over 140 BMWs and a few Minis participate. This is a judged event so entry of your car will need to be chosen by you as to which entry class you wish to participate in. The entry classes are noted on the BMW CCA Boston Chapter web page as is the scoring sheet we will use to evaluate your car. If you have any questions about choosing which class to enter your car, please let me know and I will assist you.

Also, note that we will have a "Display" Class which will not be judged however we will choose one car from that class for an award.

First timers, don't be afraid to enter a judged class, I will help you understand what to do.

Here are the event details:

We would love to have you in the "Display" class which is not a judged class but more of a "Show and Shine" area. Then your BMW will be parked on Lawn B of the Museum grounds. Does that work for you?

850tgul · 08-04-2015, 10:41 AM

I'm interested in joining the display class. I understand pre-registration is closed so would I just show up the day of and pay the $20 at Larz?
Are we grouping all the 1 series together? Thx

Trptguy · 08-04-2015, 11:25 AM

that might work for me. I don;have a garage so we will see if I can keep the car clean

You can just show up and pay the fee at the time of the event, I can work with the display class registration person to try and group us together on the higher part of the lawn.

Just run it through the car wash before you come or the day before it doesn't have to be imacculate ... Mine is kept outside as well.

850tgul · 08-04-2015, 01:36 PM

What time is everyone planning to show up? Last time I went, which was a few years ago, we got there a good half an hour earlier than the start time.

I have to be there at 7 am as I volunteer for this event. So I will see everyone there!

850tgul · 08-04-2015, 01:55 PM

Cool.

Is anyone joining the judged class or are we all planning to hop in the display class?

Officially the event is 9am - 2pm. I'm shooting for a bit earlier - maybe 830ish - if we're allowed to park before 9.

Anyone know when the judging starts?

Trptguy · 08-04-2015, 06:52 PM

can we leave early?

In years past I believe it was in-between 10 an 11 I can check for sure and post it up!

There will be an announcement over the PA system at 11AM "Rags Down". This indicates all cleaning must stop now and judging will begin.

bahstongal · 08-05-2015, 08:57 PM

the earliest you can arrive I believe is 8:30am.

Yup, got an email from the staff confirming 830.

Trptguy · 08-06-2015, 04:26 PM

i will drop in around 9

MJM · 08-06-2015, 08:35 PM

Hi everyone: here is some helpful information for folks attending the Concurs d'Elegance on Sunday:

Lawn A opens at 9 AM for Judged Cars. No more cars will be allowed into the Judged Area Lawn A after 11 AM when judging starts.

Lawn B opens at 9 AM for Display Cars (non-judged). No more cars will be allowed onto Lawn B after noontime.

Time to start cleaning if you are entering a judged class.

Good luck everyone!!
