OUT IN THE FIELD
Based on the attention collector car auctions attract, it’s easy to think that every enthusiast spends hundreds of hours watching the action as cars cross the block. The truth is, most of the goings on in the collector car world take place in residential garages and on show fields. Again, the high-end events seem to draw the most press, so it’s a big deal when an established concours like Fairfield County has to suspend operations
and the much-loved Glenmoor Gath- ering vanishes altogether. Fortunate- ly, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, which came in the form of the newly announced Pinehurst Concours set to debut in North Carolina on May 5, 2013. Meanwhile in 2012, some young concours, including Barrington in Illinois, Boca Raton in Florida and Greystone in California, built on their strengths and prepared for future growth.
At the grassroots level, Carlisle Events has expanded from 11 to 17 shows in two years, including assum- ing responsibility for the Bloomsburg Nationals, the Fall and Winter Zephyr- hills meets, and Allentown Auto Mania. While its only truly new event is the Sports and Outdoors Show, Carlisle’s Mike Garland explained that attendance is constant for most of the shows, while it has grown for the Carlisle Performance and Style Show as well as for the Import and Kit Car
