Awards and Shows for GEN 36

	As of May 2005, "Gen" was in shape to show as chassis only at Hillsborough (Right(). The work done to this point made her eligible for a significant NCRROC award.... The most improved car in the club award for 2005 (Left). I particularly enjoyed showing the chassis for folks to see the "pure" RR part of the car.
	The 2009 show season started with Hillsborough, but I choose not to bring "Gen" out in time for judging due to rain. The 2009 Shrines' Concours was the first time the car was judged (Right) and I couldn't have been happier with the day (despite 102 degree temps). At left is the trophy plate for first in class. Gen received 98 points for this RR sanctioned meet.
	The Shrines' Concours has an award for the car that the Late Bruce Grant would have chosen as his favorite club affiliated car (Left) Bruce was an auto columnist for the Sacramento Bee and I appreciate that the Shrines' Judges selected "Gen" for it. In addition, "Gen" received the Peoples Choice Award. (Right)
	The 2009 Santa Cruz, CA Woodies on the Wharf event (Right) is not a Concours nor is it judged, but it is a fun show. The commemorative coaster (Left) is a nice reminder of the day. There were two RR Shooting Brakes in attendance... the other was from Southern Calif. Video clips were taken of Gen for the Comcast Sports Net during the day.
	The 2009 Palo Alto Concours (Right) had a great turnout. "Gen" was placed in the pre-war European open and closed car class. The third place in class (Left) was much deserved next to many other fine cars. One took "most elegant" for the day and another had been "best in show" a previous year. Gen received highest points in RR sanctioned judging at 99 points.
	The first San Francisco Presidio Concours (Right - 2009) was a great show in a great venue. The sun popped thru and shone on a truly fine selection of cars. Again, Gen took third (Left) in a class of open and closed cars. The first in class car also took best of show.
	For the 2009, Ironstone Concours judging (Right), did not include objective scrutiny or require mechanical proof of operation. Rather, judges came to a consensus after a walk thru of the classes. While Gen took top points in RR sanctioned judging at 100 points, she took second (Left) with honorable mention. First in class went to a fine RR dual cowl phaeton Phantom touring drop head.
	Hayes Mansion Show Sept. 2009 As a late entry (I was unsure of the weather), Gen was placed on the circular driveway of the Hayes mansion for this venue's first annual car show. (Right). Gen received first place in People's Choice (Left) which was rewarded with a two night stay at the Mansion. Gen was also selected by KKUP sponsor station as the "listeners Choice" (Below)
Gen was also selected to return to the Mansion for a professional photo shoot by famed photographer Ron Kimball. You may see Ron's work at: http://www.kimballstudios.com/		Mike Hennessey, a local Auto Promoter did a Video Shoot of Gen for a local TV Channel (26) during the day as part of the event coverage.
	Dec 13, 2009 Gen and I were honored twice at the annual NCRROC Awards Dinner. Highest Proper Motor Car (PMC) scoring for a RR or Bentley for 2009 (Right) and Best Personal Restoration (Left). These trophies will be with us for a year and then exchanged next year for an individual plaque with the plates installed for keeps.

	Oct. 3rd, 2010 Niello at Serrano Concours (Left) Presentation of the Honorary Judges Award. (Right) Second in Class Award.
	May 15, 2011 Marin Concours, PreWar RR class (featured) OK, so it rained a little (see the Lady Flying wet.. left), Gen collected third in class (right) in a field of Ghosts, Phantoms, WO. Bentley, and a 20/25.

	Oct. 2012 1st Annual British Fall Classic Morgan Hill, Ca. First in Class I was also pleased they used Gen for the 1st Tee Shirt that was used to publicize the inclusion of all British cars, not just roadsters.
