The following rules and regulations, as set forth by Dover Downs Hotel & Casino and the host car club, will be strictly enforced by Dover Downs security personnel. Any violation, as they determine it, may be cause for dismissal. All registered vehicles must be licensed, registered, tagged, and insured to the minimum requirements as set forth by the state in which they are titled. Proof of insurance & registration must be available for review if requested by event staff.

Gates will open at 6:30 a.m. Registration will begin promptly at 7:00 a.m.

All cars will be parked in the order they enter the car show area. Saving spots is NOT permitted. If you want to park next to someone, both of you should come in together.

All vehicles must be on the track prior to 9:30 a.m. or you may not be permitted to enter the car show area.

All cars must remain parked until 5:00 p.m. NO EXCEPTIONS. There will be plenty to do to keep you busy up until the awards ceremony at 4:00 p.m.

Upon your arrival you will be directed to pull into the Winner’s Circle of the MONSTER MILE^® to have your photograph taken. After the photograph is taken you will be parked. All Best In Show winners will receive their 8x10 glossy photo free of charge. All others may purchase theirs from the vendor (Mason Dixon Photography). Barring any unforeseen equipment problems, they will be printed on-site in time to take home with you on the day of the show.

Event staff will be walking around the car show area selling 50/50 raffle tickets throughout the day. The cost is $1 each, $5 for an arm’s length, and $10 for your height in tickets. You may also come to the Open Registration tent any time after 10:00 a.m. to purchase 50/50 tickets. The winner of the 50/50 will be announced at the end of the awards ceremony. You must be present to win. If not claimed within 10 minutes of announcement, another number will be drawn.

At 9:30 a.m. the event staff will begin passing out the Participant’s Choice Voting Slips. Please plan to be at your car from 9:30 till 10:00 to receive your voting slip. If you have not received your voting slip by 10:30 a.m., please bring your window placard to the Open Registration tent to receive yours. All voting slips must be returned to the Open Registration tent and placed in the box no later than 11:30 a.m. Only one slip per registered vehicle will be given. Tallying up a dozen plus car numbers from 300 little slips of paper, then re-listing the car numbers in order, by number of votes, is a monumental task and takes time. Please be patient.

Door prizes will be announced every 20 minutes starting at 10:00 a.m. Car numbers of the winners will be announced over the car show area’s public announcement system. They will also be written on a board at the Open Registration tent, just in case you are not in the immediate area when your car number is announced. Please note that our public announcement system will only reach within the car show area, not the entire infield of the track.

The awards ceremony will begin at 4:00 p.m. There will be 40 Participant’s Choice trophies, 10 Best In Show trophies (by class), and various Sponsor’s Choice trophies. All Best In Show trophy winners will receive their 8x10 glossy photo in the Winner’s Circle free with their trophy (all others may go to Mason Dixon Photography’s tent and review and/or purchase theirs at any time during the day).

In addition to 40 Participant’s Choice trophies (top 40 vote-getters), there will be two specific Participant’s Choice categories; MOST UNUSUAL and BEST PAINT & GRAPHICS, all of which will be determined by you, the participants.

There will also be 10 Best In Show winners by class. The top vote winner in each specific class will win the Best In Show for that class, provided they meet the requirements for that class as described below. We have added a couple more classes to last year’s list, and will provide a Best In Show trophy for each of the following:

      1)  ANTIQUE

           As defined by AACA; 1950 and earlier – original, or restored as close to original as possible.

      2)  CLASSIC

           Defined as 1951-1968 – original, or restored as close to original as possible.

      3)  MUSCLE CAR

           Defined as 1962-1972 – V8 – no restrictions on modifications.

      4)  STREET ROD

           As defined by NSRA; 1948 and earlier -- heavy modifications, chopped, lowered, etc.

      5)  SPORTS CAR

           Defined as 2-door/2+2; import or domestic -- no restriction on year or modifications.

      6)   IMPORT

           Defined as any vehicle imported from an overseas manufacturer -- no restriction on year or modifications.

      7)   TUNER

           You know who you are -- no restriction on year or modifications.

      8)   MODIFIED CAR

           Basically any car that does not fall in any of the other categories listed above.

      9)   TRUCK CLASS

           Last year we did not have a specific category for trucks, and in hindsight felt we should have, so we have added the class this year.

           Any truck, stock or modified, that does not fall under another category.

      10)  LATE MODEL/PRO STREET

           You also know who you are -- late model (after 1972), no restriction on modifications.   

There will also be various Sponsor’s Choice trophies. These will be awarded by various sponsors involved in our car show. No specific judging criteria. Whatever car, for whatever reason, that the sponsor likes best will be the winner of that sponsor’s trophy.

The 50/50 raffle winner will also be announced at the awards ceremony, after the trophies are awarded. The 50/50 winner must be present to win or we will pull another number.

No pop-up tents, gazebos, awnings, etc. will be permitted this year, due to an incident caused by the wind last year. There will be several tents set up, down in front, by the host car club and our sponsors for all to use. Pull up your chair and join us!

No loud music, profanity, or alcohol will be permitted in the car show area.

No burning rubber or squealing tires will be tolerated. ANY dangerous or reckless regard for public safety may be cause for immediate dismissal by track security personnel.

Pre-registration forms must be completely filled out, signed, and dated. Do not forget to enclose your payment in the form of a personal check, cashier’s check, or money order only. Do not mail cash. Unfortunately, we are not set up to take credit, debit, or PayPal payments at this time.

The event date is Saturday, October 18, 2008, rain or shine. No reimbursements for no-shows, cancellations, etc. will be given. Pre-registered no-shows (for whatever reason) will, however, be mailed their goodie bag and dash plaque. These will be mailed to the name & address on the paid registration form.
