I'm heading to the Hilton Head Concours in November (it's officially on!).

Steve
Have you entered a car in the Concours? I will have my KR201 in the "Messerschmitt Squadron" class, and I have just finished the restoration of a TG500 that will also be in that class..

No, not entering any cars. But I will keep an eye out for you.

I assume you've been there in the past. Good crowds. They seem to really love micros there - most people have no clue what they are, but are very interested. It's a really well done show.

Are you just bringing them to the Concours, or will you display them at the club show on Saturday?

Steve,
I have been there before, about six years ago my KR200 was in the Concours. This year will be the first time they will have a class dedicated to Messerschmitts. The TG and my 201 will be at the airport on Friday night for the Areo Expo and also on Saturday for the club day display. The Messerschmitts will be displayed with vintage aircraft. On Sunday we move the cars to the Concours field. It will be a busy weekend!
There will be at least seven Messerschmitts in the class. Two TG500's, one KR201, one KR175 and three KR200's. (At last count)
See you there!

Jim,

That's great to hear that the Messerschmitts will be so well represented. Last year, there were about 8-10 micros in total, primarily Isettas. Others there were (from memory) 1 Messerschmitt, 1 Berkely Sports, 1 Austin Bantam, 1 Crosley. The numbers of micros have been slowly increasing over time, especially since they gave them their own class. Now that the schmitts have their own, hopefully that will really start to increase the numbers. If the weather is as good as last year, you're in for a fun weekend!

Steve.
