New Classification and Rules Updates
 
A car entered in to the "Daily Driver" Classification will exhibit the wear and tear associated with this type of vehicle. The vehicle mileage should be in the area of 10,000 miles per year of existence of the vehicle. In other words, a 1984 should have approximately 180,000 miles on it's odometer. The mileage is not the only governing criteria in the decision. Judges at the event may make special allowances for vehicles that are not deemed "Custom" in the general rules and regulations.
 
Rules:
1) A five minute warning will be given before judging starts.
2) All cleaning, polishing and detailing must stop when the judging begins.
3) Any participant detailing their car after judging has started may be disqualified.
4) Judges may speak with participants, spectators and other judges.
5) Judges may request that people step away from their vehicle for judging.
6) No late entrants will be allowed after the 5 minute warning.
7) Floor mats and seat covers must be removed prior to judging.
 
Regulations:
1) Judging will be done by a team of 5 judges and one supervising judge.
2) Judges will be assigned one area of the car to judge and will judge only that area.
3) Areas to be judged include: exterior, front compartment, engine, trunk, interior, wheels and exhaust tips.
4) The team will judge all registered cars. No judge shall have a car entered in the competition.
5) The five judges and supervisor will meet and discuss their assignments. They will practice by reviewing and discussing the judging of several display only cars to gain continuity and experience.
 
Each judge will be responsible for:
1) Their assigned area on each car in the show.
2) Placing a point value for each valued item in their area.
 
The supervising judge will be responsible for:
1) Reviewing any large downgrades.
2) Signing off on each sheet for each car.
3) Tallying the total points.
4) Keeping the team moving rapidly and focused.
5) Regulating the direction of judging and breaks.
 
One judging sheet per car will be issued by the Supervising Judge. After each judge places their point value on the sheet, they will hand that sheet to the Supervising Judge for initials. Any questions of appearance of inconsistency should be dealt with at this time by the entire judging team.
 
After all cars have been judged and the sheets completed, the car with the highest total points will be deemed "Best of Show."
