These are some of the things we require for standard of acceptance into the Hotrod-a-rama: 

• No Ratrods!

• Patina and primer are great as long as your cars appearance does not look too clapped out.

• No Billet or modern non-period correct wheels. Some modern copies of vintage rims are acceptable. We will look at it all.

• No tweed office chair or modern street rods interiors allowed!

• No digital gauges allowed. Too modern.

• No diesel-powered vehicles or VW's

• No indoor car show display signs without approval. Historical show cars are ok on this. Race car information signs are the exception.

• No crying baby dolls or stuffed animals displayed around your car.

• No bone stock vehicles. This a hotrod and custom car show. Your car has to be modified in a traditional style to enter. Exceptions will be at the show promoter's discretion if it is deemed of interest.

  The promoter is attempting to keep vehicles looking like traditional hotrods, period perfect customs and vintage drag cars. If you have any questions about whether your car qualifies, I'm willing to speak to you about your pride and joy. This is a general outline of rules of acceptance. Long live real hotrods!

  PS. All crying baby dolls, stuffed animals, and goofy car show stuff will be executed expeditiously via onsite burn barrel which has a direct line to the gods of speed!

  (sarcasm folks!) If you bring it, you will be asked to put it away.

  If you are in doubt if your vehicle fits into the criteria for the show, you can email pictures of your car to Admissions Division, and we will be gentle as possible in critiquing your car for acceptance. In order to stay true to the spirit of HOTROD-A-RAMA SOUTHWEST we have to be particular or else it would just like any other car show. If your car is denied, please do not be offended. It's nothing personal we are just trying to maintain certain standards.
