The rules of our show are here to try to give everyone a fair opportunity, a safe environment and a family-friendly fun filled event. If you have any questions or concerns with any of these rules or possible infringements of these rules, please contact a member of the show management to resolve the issue. Let’s make this a great event for everyone.
1 All trucks must stay on the show lot until the event is over. If an emergency shall arise or another situation arises, please contact a member of show management to help you get out so that we can limit the possibility of someone getting injured with your exit. We will always do our best to accommodate and will try to be as understanding as possible.
2 Both combos and bobtails will compete against each other in this Limited Mileage National Championship event. Limited mileage trucks consist of any truck working over-the-road, less than 75,000 miles per year or any local truck driven less than 45,000 miles per year. Local trucks consist of anyone working “only” within a 150 mile radius of their home location. This does not exclude trucks that are trailered in. All trucks must be DOT-able. At this level of customization, both bobtails and combos should be able to compete in the same class. The judging system does not discriminate.
3 Once you have been parked in your final parking spot, there will be NO washing with pressure washers or any buffing/polishing tools for metal. Paint polishing with a cordless buffer is OK so long as it does NOT sling products towards your competitors. Hand polishing and cleaning in the show lot is perfectly fine until “RAGS DOWN TIME” to be notified ahead of time. No running water in the parking lot under any conditions short of a fire.
4 Pop-up canopies are allowed by your truck for shade but should NOT impede the front or sides of your truck. They should only be placed behind your truck and out of the way so that photos of your setup can be taken without a tent in the way. The canopy/tent also needs to be secured down safely. You will be responsible for any damages done to other vehicles, buildings, or people due to your canopy/tent getting loose.
5 A show sign is NOT required but is acceptable so long as it is within reason. It must be of sign type display. This means, it CANNOT be a banner. A sign should consist of something made of metal, plastic, or fiberglass and displaying your company/truck name and have information pertaining to your truck. The sign CANNOT be an advertisement for any type of business. Your sign can incorporate sponsors of the truck or parts that are on it but CANNOT be a straight advertisement for a company. Your sign should be no wider than 4 feet by 4 feet (4′ X 4′).
6 Before judging starts, make sure that your truck is free of obstructions so that the judges can do their job efficiently. Be mindful that a judge can put one knee down and reach for any part of your truck to check for cleanliness and if a judge can’t reach something because of a cooler or chairs being in the way. It could cost you points! We will have implemented the one knee rule at this event. There will be no laying down or crawling by any of the judges to check for cleanliness. Eye sight and arm reach is the basic consensus for cleanliness. Any item(s) left laying around the truck will be judged as part of the display.
7 This is a family event and you are a representative of our industry to the public. Please, no profanity, sexually explicit or blatantly offensive graphics. Please bring matters of anything questionable to the show management.
8 During the judging time, we expect all participants to remain sober. After judging hours, you are on your own time and can do as you wish within reason. But do remember you are a representative of your business and our industry as a whole. If you are inebriated of any sort, you can be disqualified from the event and there will no refunds given.
9 For those of you with stereos. You are allowed and encouraged to play your music, but please be mindful of your neighboring trucks and spectators around you. We do recommend and encourage playing family friendly music or non-explicit music during daylight hours. After the masses have left, you can show off your setup during the nighttime hours. No BoomBoxes or External speakers that are not part of your truck or trailer setup are permitted.
10 Distribution of literature/products, driver recruitment, selling products/services, and displaying signs advertising products/services are all strictly prohibited. These activities are reserved for event sponsors only.
11 There should be no vehicles in the show lot during show days. They can be brought in to bring detailing supplies but can only be brought in one time and out one time. They should not be used to go in and out numerous times to come and go as you please.
12 Show management shall have final say in all decisions. Anyone violating rules, regulations, or laws can be removed from the event at any time. A peaceful resolution will always be the first and primary solution.
JUDGES’ RULES
1 During the driver’s interview, talking should be limited to a minimum. Should be a captive audience. Stick together and only follow the person doing the interview.
2 Cleanliness check is the one knee rule. Meaning, you can only put one knee down to check cleanliness. Anywhere you can put a hand or arm into safely, should be cleaned.
3 Judging is limited to 20 minutes per truck after the driver interview. You can ask the competitor for clarification on something they said in their interview during this time.
4 In the case of a tie, the bonus points should be used to clear the tie breaker. If still tied, then you should go out and re-evaluate based off just the tied trucks.
Day of the judging, each competitor will get a timed 30 minute wipe down with a maximum of 2 people cleaning just before they are judged. Someone will come around with a stop watch before your judging time to hold everyone accountable. This evens the judged playing field and allows everyone that one last dust off before the judging. You will not be allowed to wipe on it during judging day outside of that 30 minute window. So use your time wisely.
