Friday, August 21, 2020- Cruise-In

Registration closes at 5:30 p.m. Our selection committee will circulate throughout the Cruise-In from 12:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.  Colored stickers will be placed on the registration card displayed in each participant’s vehicle to indicate the vehicle has been reviewed by selection committee members.  Our spectacular Top-100 trophies are awarded based upon the “selection committee’s choice” of the best examples of all makes and models present.  Special awards will also be presented.  Please place your completed registration card on the driver’s side dash or on the front windshield under a wiper blade.  Cars that are not registered will not be eligible for awards.

To ensure that your car is judged, please observe the following:

• Please be sure that you are parked in the correct location for your specific class, Show Within-A-Show group, or Feature Group.  If your car is not located in its correct class area, notify a judge in your vehicle’s correct class area of its location so that it can be judged.
• Place pre-printed registration card on driver’s side dash or on the windshield (make sure judge has access to the card).  If you do not wish to have your vehicle judged, do not display your registration card.
• Please try to stay with your vehicle during judging to assist the judges if necessary; however, it is not required that you be with your vehicle to have it judged.  Tops must be up; hoods and trunks must be open.  Windows must be up.
• A sticker will be placed on your registration card indicating your car has been judged.  If a sticker has not been placed on your registration card by 6:00 p.m. on Friday or 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, please contact a show official.

Please note: The Arthritis Foundation Classic Auto Show & Cruise-In Committee works throughout the year to organize and present the most enjoyable events possible. Like you, our committee members are all automobile enthusiasts. Consequently, we encourage our committee members to enter their cars in the competition and to enjoy the events to which they have devoted so much personal time; however, all of our participants may be assured that all judging is performed completely impartially, and we take great pride in doing so.  No judge or committee member will judge the class in which their car is entered.
