The evolution from automobile to stree machine is, for most, a gradual process. That process is far from inexpensive. Surprisingly, money is not part of the lure. Participants, who come from all across the nation, come in search of plaques, jackets and trophies. In fact, in this sport of choice, rewards come in a way of personal achievement and peer respect.
Many participants relish in the opportunity to compete with themselves and others.
Gratification is also found in the awards process itself. Winners in individual categories, ranging from Best Paint and Graphics to Best Engineered, are determined through peer judging. Each vehicle is assigned a number and participants vote for their top choices in each category. No points are given. No money is awarded.
