CAR SHOW JUDGING INFO
Judging Categories: Vehicles are judged in three main categories: Stock, Modified, and Restified/Clone Classes. Classes are available for all Vipers, all Pro-modified vehicles, all Pro-street, Race Cars, Street Rod, Truck, PT Cruiser, and AMC. Judged participants will not be included in the Popular Choice category.
Judged vehicle must be preregistered by March 6, 2010.
*Participants are eligible for only one class*
STOCK: This class is for original appearing vehicles, whether they are original from the factory or have been restored to look original. Vehicles must appear as they were delivered to the dealership as a new vehicle with original looking interiors and exterior paint colors that are consistent with the factory options that were available for that year, make, and model. The car must be consistent with the build sheet. Matching numbers are not a must. Vehicle may have up to two modifications, such as tire, wheels, stereo, and so on, to remain in the stock class. (Note: this is not O.E. judging, but O.E. judging is available.)
Clone vehicles will be marked down and points deducted from the judging sheet if entered in the stock class. All Clone or Restified entries should be in the Restified/Clone Class.
RESTIFIED/Clone: This is for Day Two cars (meaning the second day after they left the dealership), this class is for cars with a color change, upgraded motor, but still maintaining a stock appearance. Engine swaps, color changes, upgraded radios, ignition, headers, intake, brakes, engine modifications are all acceptable in this class. This class is for stock-appearing cars that have minor changes and modifications that enhance the total appearance and desirability of the vehicle. Clone vehicles should be in this class.
MODIFIED: This class is for owners who like to individualize their vehicles. The more the vehicle is modified the better. This class will be judged on the quality of the modifications. The overall package is what matters and how well everything is tied together. Please list the modifications you have done on your vehicle and leave that list on the seat of your car for the judges to see. The judges should be made aware of the painstaking time and effort you have spent on your car. Custom paint, tires, wheels, headers, engine swaps, and so on are welcome in this class. Points are actually deducted in this class for stock items.
Pro-Street: This class is for all vehicles that have wheel tubs, hi-rise manifolds, blowers, and so on. As a general rule, to be in this class you must have wheel tubs. Vehicles will be judged on the owner's creativity and craftsmanship of the vehicle. Race Car: This class is all road racers, drag racers, stock cars, off-road Mopar race vehicles, and so on. Entry fee: $50.

If all judging is not completed by the end of the day on Friday, judging will again take place on Saturday until the class has been completed.
