Meguiar’s MotorEx 22 was one for the ages, filling the Melbourne Showgrounds halls with everything from better-than-factory restos to wild burnout machines, race cars, and oddities you’d be hard-pressed to find anywhere else, let alone in the same building!
A hard-won list of trophies was presented on Sunday afternoon, honouring some of the finest work in our sport. Check out the rest of our MotorEx coverage to see who took home the other big awards like Grand Champ and the Laurie Starling Award, but scroll on to find the results for Street Elite and much more!
