About this event
Concours Vehicle Prep Event
August 22, 2026, 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM
This year's Chesapeake Challenge will have two levels of Concours competition: Full (exterior, interior, engine compartment, storage compartment, and wheels) and Street (exterior and interior). If you're planning to compete this year, or are thinking about participating, or are simply interested in seeing how to get the best results from the time spent prepping and detailing your car, the Concours Committee invites you to this year's Concours Vehicle Prep Event.
If you have never entered a Concours, or if seems overwhelming, the Street Class was created as an easier way to show off your Porsche. Because the engine compartment, storage compartment, and wheel wells are not judged in the Street Class, prepping the vehicle is much simpler. We hear from folks all the time that they really enjoyed doing the Street Class and they continue to participate, sometimes moving up to Full Concours.
Join experts and fellow Club members demonstrating successful techniques on how to prepare your car for a Concours competition. The team will conduct a live clean-up of different sections of an unprepared car and show how to best complete the cleaning and preparation process both before the day of competition as well as on site at the event.
We will also have a professional car care expert available to discuss tips and tricks, as well as answer questions on products and process.
Don’t miss this chance to see preparation in action, share best practices with fellow members, engage in Q&A with successful Concours participants and judges on the detail and proven processes for showing your car at its best, and hear pro tips that you can implement at home as well.
Attendees will have a chance to win a $250 gift card to Westminster Speed & Sound, courtesy of our host, Mark Miller.
