(Following discussion with the Judges Trevor Hoffmann, Dave 'Lard' Clift, Roy Brown, Tex O'Grady and Kirsty Hoffmann I have now added a new category for Original/Authentic. Many cars would fit into this category and it will be much fairer for them to compete in this category. I appreciate the Judges request for this category, as they felt that some good quality cars were missing out on a trophy, due to the high quality of the Street Machines. I hope this is appreciated by the entrants, and they should thank the judges for caring about them).
EACH ROUND OF THE SHOW WILL INCLUDE ALL ABOVE CATEGORIES.
All entrants are informed that you if you win a Trophy in any category, you will receive one (1) trophy only. For example, if you win Best of Show, you do not also win Top Category Trophy, nor do you get Top Ten Trophy. Alternatively, if you win a Top Ten Trophy, you will not receive Top Category, nor Best of Show.
This means more winners and nobody has 3 or 4 trophies to take home.
Vehicles must be genuine registered, street driven, and show various markings that are consistent with same. (on and off the trailer does not constitute street driven).
You must be present at the Grand Final to claim any prizes. You also must attend a minimum of three (3) of the four (4) rounds to claim any prizes awarded at the Grand Final. (i.e. Rds 1-3-4, 1-2-4, 2-3-4)
Obviously Competition category cannot be street driven/ridden. This category will permit Trailered Vehicles. Vehicle must be genuine Competition vehicle only. This category will share in overall Trophies and Prizes. This category is proudly sponsored by American Auto Parts. 217 Parramatta Rd, North Strathfield. Ph. 02 9746 1188.
Elite or Trailer vehicles will not qualify for major Trophies, (Best of Show, Best Categories nor Rare Spares Real Street Top Ten Trophies, etc.), at series Rounds, nor Grand Final.
Best Club Trophy will be to the best Presented Club, as in DISPLAY, NOT NUMBER OF ENTRIES. This will give a small Club, of say minimum 3 members attended, an equal chance against a stronger Club with say 15 Members attended.
Entrants Choice will only be voted by Entrants Only. If any Club colludes together, that is, pool their collective votes for one of their own Members to win, All their votes, and any other votes for that Member, shall see that Club and Members, will be disqualified from this Trophy. It is unfair for a person who is solo and has no chance against a Club performing such an act. No Entrant shall vote for their own vehicle, if you do, your vote, and any others votes for your vehicle, will NOT be counted. The idea is to vote for any other Car or Bike, that you personally like. It is not for any Club to take advantage of numbers, to ensure they collect a Trophy.
Collective points shall be acquired for cleanliness, presentation, engine bay, paint, custom work, custom paint, etc, at each round of the series.
The winners will be determined by secret point score basis and presented with overall major prizes. at the Grand Final Showdown.
Trophy winners in any class or category MUST be at presentations to accept trophy at all rounds and Grand Final, otherwise next best shall receive the trophy.
The point score will be overseen by Shannons Insurance and AutoGlym for authenticity.
This series features a new category for Electric, or alternative vehicles. Already have one, which will be featured at each round. The car is a 1995 Rodeo with a 2001 Magna sedan rear. Evidently there are more cars around, so this could be a very different category. Due to limitations, on mileage at this stage, these vehicles will be permitted to use a trailer, for their appearance. They will be eligible for Trophies and major prizes. (looks like Pinky is going Green).
Here is a sneak preview of the RoMagna. This is definitely different to your standard Rodeo.
