Frequently Asked Judging Questions

During the show, our judges will be quietly walking around to review the entries. To help speed up the judging process, they will focus solely on evaluating the trucks and will only speak with the owner if they have a question or need access to a certain area of the truck. Each judge is responsible for specific classes and will consult the judging overseer with any questions or concerns.

Yes! All classic and modern General Motors SUVs, Blazers, Jimmys, and mini-trucks (like S10s and Sonomas) are welcome and compete in the dedicated GM Mini Trucks & SUVs class.

To keep the competition fair and highly competitive, both the 2nd Gen and 3rd Gen C-10 classes are split into distinct year ranges (such as 1967–1969 and 1970–1972) to accommodate the massive number of classic trucks in those eras.
