When I was a kid, I read a magazine article about the different types of car 
competion one could enter. At the end, they mentioned concours d'elegance. I 
thought, "Who would ever want to do that?".

When I got my TR3 in 1980, I joined a Triumph club. I thought we would do 
track days, rallies, autocrosses; things like that. I had no idea in the 
world that concours would be the major focus, and that they did none the 
things that I thought car clubs did.

I have attended a few Nationals, and, while I don't enter the concours (I 
don't even want to be in Participant's Choice!) I DO like to look at the 
concours cars. Not judge; look.

So, while it's not for me, I like others to be involved in concours. If that 
makes any sense.
