Car Show 2001

It's time again, for the most exciting, most thrilling part of any car event, THE CAR SHOW!!!

Wait.
Hold on.
What are we, Hondas?!

I think NOT.
Let's try again...

Welcome to, the (mostly) Annual Shootout Car Show...

This is a real man's (or woman's!!) car show. None of these show and shine, polish boys, with more rubbing compound under their hoods than engine.

First off, no 1G, 2G, 3G, Galant, Stealth classes. If your car feels valid to call itself a DSM, it can enter. This show is for everyone... not just the guys who seem to have all the time in the world, to spend rubbing their cars down with a diaper. WE WANT EVERYONE!!!

Let's take a look at the categories, just to see how different we really are:

• Best True DSM
  This is our "Beauty and the Beast" award. Power, combined with stunning appearance, inside and out. (timeslips required)
• Best use of Technology
  "Runnin' wild in the 21st Century!" All you techno-geeks out there, who have put computers, GPS, electronics, DVD players, and the like in your cars, this is the category for you. It's time to show it off, and show us what you have produced after all that talk.
• Wildest Exterior/Paint
  We're looking for some crazy paintjobs, stripes or decals... but let's keep it classy. No riceboy sticker-hounds.
• Best Riceboy
  Ok, so we left you one. We're looking for the best Riceboy DSM out there. "All show, and NO go"... that should say it all. (see Riceboy Central if you need to learn more)
• Best Beater
  The "junkyard dog - pit bull award". We're looking for the baddest looking beater, that can still kick the crap out of just about any car on the street. (timeslips required)
• Best Sleeper
  Stealthy Power. That's the bottom line. You'll lose points for every visible mod, sticker, or other giveaway. (timeslips required)
• Best Stock Appearing
  No mods, best cared for, inside and out. We know you're out there... the people who just want to take good care of their cars. This is your class, time to step up! (points deducted for each mod)
• Wildest Engine
  Easy category. Just as it says.
• Home Depot Award
  This one, recognizes the rather unique ways that some have put basic hardware and plumbing parts to use in their cars. It's time to show us that an Upper IC pipe doesn't have to cost more than $10.95...

A one award per entrant limit will be enforced, to ensure that the "wealth" is spread around. All Judgments are final.

The show will be open to visitors, competitors and vendors alike.

Fees: Entry for the show, is $5.00 per car. Spectators are free.

Times: Gates open at 8am, with showing beginning at 10am. Judging will begin at 1pm, with trophies and awards handed out no later than 2:30pm.

Note: We're not seeking specific expensive prizes from vendors this year, due to the hassle factor... and the fact that we've had problems in past years, with certain vendors backing out, AFTER the event... which is no fun for anyone.

Please respect the instructions of the Gate Marshals on site. They are volunteers, and deserve your courtesy and respect. Everyone entering the site, must sign a waiver, in order to be on NRP property. Parking for non-entrants will be provided onsite, just follow the instructions so as not to interfere with the actual show cars.

Vendors: Please check in with gate staff, and you will be directed to the vendors area.
