I'm in the process of finding a good concour site for the upcoming 2007 season....so which would you prefer....a park like grass setting or a parking lot next to the same park?? My only concern is the grass might be too wet causing trenching and maybe sprinklers getting broken.......I figure if I have the sprinklers turned off for a few days beforehand and mark all the sprinklers with little flags.....the grass should work?

Do you have any lowered cars? If so this may be a problem. Also, are there curbs or hils in the grass? If not then it will be fine and (in my opinion) look much nicer/cleaner. Yet curbs and hilly terrain don't fair so well with sport tires and lowered suspensions.

If the grass has been freshly mowed then go with concrete as people walking kick up the grass, winds blowing, etc.
My choice would be grass....as long as it's not too long or wet.
Concrete is OK but here you have loose gravel/rocks which can be kicked up by people passing by. Also oil stains and such just don't look good next to a concours clean car.

As a concours judge, I prefer a parking lot to judge in. Must less dust kicked up, less grass in the cars, etc. I hate crawling under a car in wet or freshly cut grass. It's all over my clothes, etc. I'd rather lay in a parking lot.
Of course, if it's mid summer in a hot climate, crawling on a blacktop paved parking lot is worse than grass.
Just my $.02!
