I know the system is different, but in SCCA Judged Concours 
everything on the car must be in working order.  The Judges ask 
AnnaBelle to start the engine, turn on the lights, high and low beam, 
select the turn signals, stop and brake lights, the gauges are 
checked for functioning, if there is a radio installed it must work, 
the spare wheel is inspected and must be the same as those mounted on 
the car, including the tire itself.  To get everything perfect and 
therefore have a 100 point car is nigh onto impossible. These shows 
(including Pebble Beach) have a driving tour as part of the program, 
you do not get "extra" points, but if there is a tie the driven car 
will win.

I suspect you will never be rid of "trailer queens", and that should 
be OK, it is THEIR Car, and if the choose not to drive ... so be it 
... but make it clear that in the event of a tie, the driven car will 
get the nod ...
