Brumos Collection Concours

FCR Spring Concours – No Concours Chair; No Problem

Chris Hoyt, Concours Chairman (In-absentia…)

Florida Crown Region’s Spring Concours at The Brumos Collection has quickly become one the largest and most anticipated events on the region’s calendar. A lot of behind-the-scenes work goes into it to ensure success, but fate threw us a curve ball this year and the concours chair got hit with a flu bug that knocked him out of commission. No chair, no worries – a cadre of faithful FCR members came to the rescue to put on another great concours. Pre-registration was required this year to avoid last year’s log jam and it filled up within several weeks of the event at 60 PORSCHES. Some no-shows allowed us to take some “drive-ups” making for a final total of 58 cars being judged.

Special thanks go to these FCR members: Bob Barren, Ed Lustgarten, Hans-Dieter Mandt, Ken Perry, and Steve Palmer. Their pre-planning ensured that the event went off with very few hitches. As usual, our judging team was up to the challenge but had their hands full picking out the class winners. Our judges were  John Trainer, Prince Hinson (who came from Gainesville), and Bruce DuFresne. Last but not least, a BIG THANKS goes to the team at The Brumos Collection – Brandon Starks, Toni Boudreaux-Godwin, and founder Dan Davis. If you’ve never been to this collection, it’s a must-see for anyone who appreciates seeing fine automobiles displayed in a world class setting.
