How do I win an award? How are the cars judged and who judges them?

First of all, don’t come to a Goodguys event looking for an award; come to have a good time and have fun! We do not have “judges.” Selections are made by Goodguys staff, venue staff, members of the media, select hot rod builders, sponsors, etc. If you end up being selected, you’ll be asked to park in the Winners Circle on Sunday and to participate in the Awards Ceremony. If you don’t get an award, don’t worry about it. Hot rodding is not about awards, it’s about hanging out with friends and cars.

We do not provide security for cars left on facility grounds therefore no cars are allowed to stay overnight.
