Concours Help

After another attempt on the Concours field I walked away with nothing (Against some crazy gorgeous cars in category which also received nothing), I heard over the PA that Dino's that display the horse on the back will suffer a heavy points deduction. Good to know since you don't get your score or find out where you lack unless you place. I left my horse on the back even through the intense restoration process because it was put there by the PO and I like it, also, every time I buy parts for it, it's from a Ferrari source.

So the question is--- Is there a way to hide the horse, maybe with a car club badge, or decal during judging? The car next to me received best in class, and it had a variety of badges and stickers, so I guess this is ok.

I was thinking of using magnetic sheet cut into a ring with some generic car club on it for this purpose. But what club reference - Hmmmmm ?? Doesn't help that it's one of the larger horses Thanks for any ideas.

 

Thank you guys!

I thought of it not being enough to lose, but what if I was close?? I'll never know since I didn't place 1st, 2nd, or 3rd -OR- possibly win "People's Choice".


And as for what badges or stickers are ok ?? The Concours game is a PITA, and you can chase down the little details to the nth degree, drive yourself crazy, and then lose 'cause the competition has a polished key or tires with a date code that matches the production date etc etc. I really do prefer open track days. Just getting older and sitting on the lawn sounds appealing.

Also, I don't want to pluck the horse and leave two holes to worry about.

 

I just heard from a friend of a friend who knows a judge (Yeah - I love that solid info connection too ) that putting a horsie on cars that did not come with them can be a 5 pt deduction! Supposedly missing something, or having some imperfect chrome or paint chip is 1/2 to 1 pt, but putting on a horse is super frowned upon .

And I just spent a small chunk getting those super original wiper blades. I was warned that Concourse events are no where near as much fun as doing track days. I still think a dealer sticker, or something that covers the horse holes could be less inflammatory and do the trick.

 

Many thanks!!
I will start studying this.

 

I see some stuff already like the spare is a different brand tire.

Fun-fun-fun!
