The following contains entry information for the Best Rod, Bike and Motorsports Expos in the West!
Your vehicle will be judged by a team of professional judges using a point system based on detail, quality, condition, safety and originality. Be sure to make the vehicle accessible at all times so the judges can judge your vehicle. If a vehicle is on a turntable, be sure the judges know where the switch is. They will need to turn the switch off to judge the vehicle. If you want the engine to be judged, be sure to have the hood raised enough for the judges to see it. The same goes for the undercarriage, interior and trunk. If the judge cannot see it, they cannot evaluate that segment of the vehicle.
A Judges Information Book is a build book or a photo album with pictures and a detailed description of the work in progress. This book is a very useful tool for reviewing your vehicle. It is important to list all of your vehicles modifications, especially those that are not easily visible. Please place this book or a fact sheet in your display where the judges can review it during the duration of the show. See item #15 in the Rules and Regulations section.
If you do not have stanchions and ropes, Rod Shows staff will gladly supply and set them up for you at no charge. Carpet for your vehicle can be rented in advance on the entry application. If you would like to compete for our Individual or Group/Club Display Awards a nice display will be necessary. A well-designed display can add protection for your vehicle. Remember that a standard display area for a vehicle is 10’x20’. If your display warrants a larger area, you must designate this on the application for pre-approval from the Show Manager. A standard motorcycle display area is 10’x10’. The use of a sign can be very useful in explaining to the spectators what has been done to the vehicle and listing persons and sponsors involved in the project.
It is mandatory that your show card be on display at all times during the show and on set-up day. It must also be available for the judges to write your vehicle classification on. The deadline for leaving your card out in front of your vehicle is 1 hour before the show opens on Friday (11:00 A.M.). If the card is not visible at that time you will be placed in a NON-COMPETITION status without a refund of the entry fees. The only time that your show card is not on display is when you bring it to the trophy presentation. You must have your show card with you to receive awards.
