Classes!
Driven – This class was created for a purist/efficient oriented enthusiast. Vehicles in this class usually focus on facets throughout to better equip the vehicle from factory. Modifications are expected to be subtle yet very intricate.

Performance – This class represents the global affair with speed/horsepower/balance. Although race prepped cars may be proven performance vehicles in certain disciplines, we will not automatically award you for it.

The criterion in this class follows a very strict guideline of balance throughout the vehicle. Your vehicle must be able to perform and put some power down. Meaning supporting modifications must be present.

Although performance is key in this class, please don’t undermined execution. This is still a car show and displaying with up most pride can only benefit a competitor. Keep in mind that we understand road scares usually means enjoyment from the driver. None the less, keeping a car as showroom fresh will only benefit the vehicles overall appeal.

Unlimited – This award class was created for all extraordinary creations. Anything goes but keep in mind the distinguishing factor of clutter can overwhelm one build.

Competition will vary from event to event, judges will regulate competition accordingly.


Display & Lighting – This award recognizes the dedication that an individual takes to complement their vehicle. We are not looking for an abundance of lights nor an overwhelming display that takes away from the vehicle. It is crucial that it plays a theme for the vehicle.

Hottest Female – This award goes to the individual female that represents her vehicle thoroughly. She must be able to answer questions on the fly.

Hottest Vintage – This award is for the cult classics of yester year. We understand the older the vehicle is the harder it is to find parts. In some cases, production of after market components, come to a complete halt. But this award recognizes the effort of an individual that chose to modify or restore their late model vehicle (1980’s & below).

Hottest Engine Aesthetics – This award solely focuses on engine presentation. HP/TQ
Figures need not apply. Wire tuck, fuse box relocation and AN fitting are just some modifications that are highly recognized to stand out in a build.

Hottest Engineered – This award is for any vehicle that decided not to follow the masses. This includes anything from vehicles with standard 2WD that are converted to AWD to vehicles that began with 4 cylinders and swapped out for 8 cylinders. We’re looking for anything out of the ordinary with a lot of originality.

Hottest Body Work – This award is for the highest craftsmanship done to the exterior of a vehicle. Workmanship should look 100% factory.

Hottest Paint Finish – This award is for the best overall paint in competition.

Hottest Vinyl Art – This award recognizes the timely effort to apply a second skin on the vehicle. In the case of vinyl, more is not always better. But quality and layering will always out weight quantity.

Hottest Interior – This award goes for the best executed cockpit. Whether you’re surrounded by leather and suede or just completely drenched in fiberglass, the best
execution will be recognized.

Hottest Frame - We are not only looking for polished/coated parts underneath, we are also looking for technical advancements. Braces, chamfers and bushings are just a few components that may give you the advantage.

Sound Representation - This is not particular in sound nor product but placement and
Build of stereo equipment. The focus is all on sound display and the and its surrounding enclosure/material.

Mobile Entertainment – Stereo equipment does not apply in this category. We are
specifically looking at installation of monitors and even interactive use with the public VIA video games/internet.

JDM Aftermarket – This award goes to the vehicles that posses an arsenal of Japanese parts. Although the market is full of Japanese products now, to encounter parts that have been discontinued or to have the audacity to use products that were not available to the public will generate mass appeal.

LuxuryCoupe - to compete for this award your vehicles starting MSRP must be $50,000 and above.

Luxury Sedan – This award was created for vehicles with MSRP starting at $45,000 and
above.
