  5. OZ wheels category must be an OZ wheels casting, judging will be by Jesse Marios and other judges.

 If you plan on entering, entries can be dropped from 8am, no entries after 11am. All custom cars must be "loose" for judging. Example: No mirror bases or platforms of any kind are allowed. You must enter your cars in the correct category. For security purposes, you must have a picture ID to pick up your customs at the end of the event. There is no limit on the amount of cars you can enter, but we ask it be kept to about 5 per category depending on table space.

Tips on entries: A single entry can consist of 2 vehicles (ex: the elwood flatbed & car or a tow truck pulling a car). Results from past contests shows this adds to your advantage as this shows "more time spent.” 

Judging is based on overall appearance and clean execution, judges at this time are Rocco Francese “customiser”, Justin O’Neill “diecast critic” and others tba.
