2008 Awards & Classes

Awards & Classes

After you invest countless time and money it's rewarding to be able to show off your ideas and efforts while mingling with others who share your passion. While our emphasis is clearly focused on making sure everyone enjoys their visit, the staple of any car show is its award ceremony.

This year, like last, we plan to offer 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place awards to each of the classes outlined below based on randon ballot participant judging. However, instead of colorful trophies that do not fit with the living room decor, we anticipate providing first class engraved awards lending themselves to find a home somewhere besides the basement or garage. Shown below are several available styles. Please leave us feedback on the style you like best using the contact us form.

Additionally, special awards for Best of Show along with 1st and 2nd Runner-Ups will included CASH Prizes. This year we will include a Best of Show Only pick on each ballot.

     Best of Show       $300.00
     1st Runner Up     $200.00
     2nd Runner Up   $100.00

Also, three Previous Best Of Show Award Picks will be provided. We hope to allow each best of show winner from the previous year to choose one vehicle they would like to see receive this coveted award.

As a last award announcement, another special award will be provided for each car club with attendance of 10 cars or more. If you let us know by June 15th, 2007 that you will be attending the show with 10 cars or more we will have a custom award made to be presented by that club's respective president. Once the club participates, each year following we hope to allow the previous winner to choose the next winning member of his or her club, similar to best of show picks!

Routine. The same old thing. There are a lot of events like that - and one that isn't.

2008 Classes

Participant judging can often be influenced by parking location and visibility. To ensure everyone gets the same exposure, all cars classified the same will be parked together in one area of the concourse. Not only is judging facilitated, but spectators and other participants can locate all vehicles within a class more easily. For 2008 you will have the opportunity to park next to your friends but will not be eligible to receive an award.
