The wording (rules) on the entry form should not be inconsistent with the rules that have been set by the national committee. this quirk in the rules re judging and trophies has been there for years, perhaps the state & national committees can revise the wording ?

last word on this subject....

very arrogant to assume you have the last word on this especially when you avoided answering these questions,
I did not mention a 6 month period of time, where did you get that from ?
Where in the concours guidelines and rules does it state that a non mustang club member is not eligible to have their mustang judged ?

You quote this "2. CLASSES Entry to all Judged Classes are subject to the prerequisites of membership, ownership etc. as per rules 1.1 to 1.3."

Rules 1.1 to 1.3, are as follows;

1. ELIGIBILITY
1.1: Vehicle:
The Concours is open only to Ford Mustangs, including Shelby, Boss, Californian Special and any other version of the Mustang Body fitted with a Ford engine.
All vehicles must be fully registered in the owner’s state of residence at the time of entry and be entered in the owner’s Family Name. “Club & Classic” registration is permitted, trade plates or temporary permits are not.

1.2: Entrant:
a: Entrants to Concours Thoroughbred class are limited and must comply with rule 2.1.
b: The Entrant must have owned the vehicle and been a financial member of their state branch for at least 60 days prior to the event to be eligible for any trophies.
c:Entrants must decide before entering, in what class they want to compete in. Once the vehicle has been entered it cannot be placed in another class except at the discretion of the Head Judge, who may change the class entered into the appropriate class. Entrant will be notified of any class change.

1.3: Receipt of entries:
All entries must be received by the Concours Secretary in writing and signed NO later than 60 days prior to the event unless otherwise advised

So again I ask Where in the concours guidelines and rules does it state that a non mustang club member is not eligible to have their mustang judged ?

I like your persistence.. The guidelines are just that...guidelines. It looks like the organisers have made the final ruling on the entry form. The guidelines of any organisation should not be read as a stand alone document...2 pages have been quoted which appear to address your concerns... It seams pretty clear. Am I missing something...also any non members can try to enter their car if they like. Don't think they'd be accepted though!!

Enjoy the event all those that are going...

I agree that the guidelines are flexible and need to be however the concours document is titled "Mustang Concours Guidelines & Rules" The rules and guidelines are set in this document produced by the national committee.

For those of you who are confused or question the rules and ethics can I suggest you get onto your state's committee and work with the other volunteers and have you say, we who put these events together are approachable.

This is a car club where we get to be involved and be part of the movement, Concours events are for us to show what we have achieved and are proud to own, its not a multi- million dollar corporation!

3 simple things to have your car judged at the Concours
Be a member of  MOCA through your state club
Register your car in your name
Have it roadworthy and drive-able

Simple

Boss351, well summed up. What is the point though about not being a multi million dollar corporation? With 1000 members it's pretty big. Irrespective concourse events are taken pretty seriously by entrents, hence the detailed guidelines and rules...

Yes we take it very seriously, I was fortunate enough to win gold last year so certainly realise the time and effort, what i was saying is that we are enthusiasts not corporate high flyers!
lets enjoy what we have..... :flag:
