2008 MOCA Round Up Rules

General:

Please abide by the following general rules. Each is required by our host, sanctioning organization, or insurance provider. Non-compliance will be grounds for possible disqualification or expulsion from the show.

• Alcoholic beverages are not allowed on Great Hills Baptist Church property.
• Careless, reckless driving or unnecessary noise by entrants is prohibited.
• All signs and displays will be presented in good taste. Obscene or suggestive artwork or lettering must be removed or covered.
• Cars will not be allowed to exit or move prior to the completion of the awards ceremony without a walking escort from the show staff.
• All tents and displays will be weighted appropriately to prevent potential hazards to participants, attendees and property. Weights will not be provided – bring your own, please.
• Entrants are to maintain his or her immediate show or display area clean of all trash during the show and are to pick up and dispose of any trash in their car area prior to departing.

Judging/Trophies:

• Class trophies will be awarded based on the tallied results of class judges using a point system.
• Final class breakout will be determined by show pre-registration. There will not be any single car classes. Similar classes may be combined if there are not enough entries to make up a single class. MOCA reserves the right to combine classes.
• New classes may be created, or existing classes sub-divided, if it is determined by the show committee that, based on pre-registrations, a sufficient number of vehicles of a similar type have been entered to justify a unique class.
• Trophies will be awarded to the final determination of classes based on the quantity of cars in each class, plus four “Best Of Awards” i.e. Best of Show, Best Paint, Best Interior, and Best Engine.
• A trophy will also be awarded to the “People’s Choice” vehicle. The “People’s Choice” will be determined by popular vote from participants in the show.

Original/Restored Class: Generally, autos entered into the Original/Restored Class are not restricted from limited modification such as aftermarket wheels, replaced engines, chrome components (e.g. valve covers air cleaners etc). However, such changes must be consistent with wheel diameters/styles, fuel induction systems, and engine types typically available during those model years. As an example, fuel injection, overhead cam engines and 5 speed/AOD transmissions were never offered for the 65 through 73 model Mustangs. Three or more such modifications would instead make the car eligible for the Modified Class and the car’s owner will be encouraged to change. Should the entrant decline reclassification, the judging result must, of necessity, reflect that the vehicle is not in compliance with class rules. To maintain judging objectivity, no additional weight will be given for highly chromed/polished engine bays, braided hoses, auxiliary instrument clusters, etc. Of key importance will be the overall general appearance/condition, use of stock components, and cleanliness (interior/engine bay/trunk) of the car.

No restrictions are stated for safety modifications such as radial tires, improved braking systems, auxiliary gauges, etc., or other upgrades such as audio systems, as long as such upgrades do not substantially alter the original concept of the car.

Unrestored Class: Autos entered into the Unrestored Class may have only minor modifications, limited to upgraded wheels and/or tires, improved radio/cassette/CD systems, and limited chrome components (e.g. valve covers air cleaners etc). In general, the intent is for these to be well-cared-for originals, not restored or “resto-mod” vehicles. As with restored classes, the vehicles will be judged on the overall general appearance/condition, use of stock components, and cleanliness (interior/engine bay/trunk) of the car.

Modified Class: No restrictions apply. Modified vehicles also include vehicles that have been altered to appear (generally referred to as ‘faux’ cars), to be a Shelby, Roush, Steeda, or other recognized aftermarket vehicle manufacturer’s product. Also included are faux BOSS, GT, Cobra, etc. vehicles, substantially modified from production stock, to appear to be the manufacturer’s production car.
