The _Type R_ award goes to the most ridiculously modded car. Bring your cardboard body kits! > **We Need Your Input** > Have any ideas for our show? Anything from previous shows you would like included or excluded? Any questions, concerns or comments for us? Please let us know!

Once the parking lot is full, **THE GATES WILL BE CLOSED**. No ifs, ands, or buts. Plan accordingly and it should not be a problem. > - Arrive with the people you want to park with. There will not be any room to leave empty parking spaces open. (see pics below for parking lots outside of the show that you can meet prior to arrival) > - Judging will be done by the attendees and will begin at exactly Noon.
