All other entries to the show will be judged on a 100-point scale, with 25 points being awarded in each of the following 4 categories: 1 – Exterior condition and cleanliness, 2- Interior condition and cleanliness, 3 – Tires, wheels condition and cleanliness, 4 – Engine and engine compartment cleanliness

I have a 2015 Chevy Camaro and I want to know if I can register it for the car show
Hi, there! Pre-registration is closed, but you can register the day of the car show when you arrive.
Hi,
Does the pre-registered cars receive a t-shirt this year? There wasn’t a tab to select a shirt size on the registration form when I pre registered
Good morning, James – the first 200 pre-registered cars do receive a t-shirt — they will be located at the pre-registration table with the goodie bags when you enter on Charlton St and you can pick your size then. See you in a few days!
Looking forward to this car show, wondering what is the earliest time that we can start lining up to park, since judging starts at 9am. Are the vehicles going to be parked by catagory? although that might be a tall order, lol. Thank You ahead of time for all the hard work it takes to put an event like this on for the community!
Hi, Ken! We start letting cars in around 6:00am – Cars are not parked by category — you’ll receive a paper when you arrive that has your category on it which is how the judges will know what they’re judging. We are very, very excited for the show — fingers crossed for great weather! – Dana, Exec Admin
I have registered on-line and am a member of VIP (Vettes in Perfection) Corvette Club. Thx
Hello, I pre-registered and and I’m wondering if I’m supposed to have anything to present when I arrive. All I have is a receipt with invoice #.
Thank You
Good morning, Joe! We have your name and car saved in our pre-registration files. When you arrive that morning, there will be two lines — one will be for those who pre-registered and we’ll have your information and goodie bag ready to go! Feel free to email info@ballston.org if you have any other questions. Fingers crossed for good weather! -Dana
What time do pre-registered cars need to be there? I see that judging starts at 9. Will we be given a spot if we arrive later than 9?
Hi, Dan! The judging starts at 9 — we open up the roads for parking at 6am, often times people will be lined up before 6 in the morning. We are expecting a potentially record-breaking number of cars this year so I’d suggest arriving earlier than later.
I am listed as the first place winner for the 68-82 Corvette category, but left the show early because of the weather. Will I receive a trophy for this category?
Hi, Robert! Congratulations on your win! The trophies are currently located at Prolific Marketing – you can contact Dan Barner at dan@prolificmarketing.org to arrange how to get the trophy. Thanks! -Dana
