I guess I'd have to ask what was unimpressive about it to you?

I think it was not as good as past shows, although the weather held out quite nicely. For the musclecar class, I felt there were too many Chevys and Mustangs.

Over-exposure is a photography term. It plainly means the photo is too bright. The Chevelle is not mine, I was apologizing for the poor photo quality.

What happened to diversity and quality? The Corvettes, with the exception of two were absolutely average. This is supposed to be one of the top 5 Concours shows in the country! There was a Tri-Five with a 1/4 panel packed with plastic. The race car section had a new ZR1 and GT in it, parked next to an '82 Collector's Edition Vette... (very odd). I just thought for the name and apparent prestige of the award, the caliber of cars would have matched past year's shows and this is all coming from a past winner. In '09 I took Best Sports Car post 1966 with my Vette.

It's not one of the Top 5 concours in the country. Are they making that claim? Or you just heard it? If they're making that claim, they're on crack!

Otherwise, the owner of the LS6 ragtop claimed it was 1 of 20 to the judges. I would have hoped the owner of such a car would have better knowledge of the car.

And, yes, photos there are always a bitch - the sun's tough (when it's actually showing).
