As we are exercising our rain date option, the show will be rain or shine. Let's hope for the latter!

Great, Just what I needed more time to detail at an ever deeper level. Here is hoping for dry sunny weather in two weeks! Meanwhile I am building my ark in the backyard to keep my cars dry.

One week until the big show. Let's hope for a day like this one!

John,
Thank you and all the BMW National Capital Chapter volunteers who made the Deutsche Marque Concourse a success again this year. You should be proud, and I am sure a little tired today (Monday), in the ability to bring off this event again this year in spite of gusts of pollen bearing winds that exceeded 45 mph, 16 days straight of rain that caused a two week reschedule (due to flooding!?), and the flood of questions like “can you get the judges to not step in my clean car with grass on their feet?” all the way to “can I park here too?”.
On behalf of all the participants, guests, and spectators, I would like to say congrats on a great job on making the event a must attend for my M5. All winter my garage queen has been cleaned, waxed, scrubbed, and buffed to get ready for the event and we were proud to be recognized for all the hours and effort.
Keep up the good work!

Ill echo what Stephen said and add a twist. I felt deeper competition this year with more qualified entrants and more focused judges. Again a flawless execution of the event with thanks extended to judges as well for giving up their time and making this a memorable win for myself.
