The Elite judging at Street Machine Summernats commands plenty of headlines, but the Street judging is just as competitive. The two top awards are Top Judged Street and Street Champion, but the truth is that every class and category is a hard-fought contest.

What is the definition of Street Judging at Summernats?

“Street exhibits a high degree of detail and finish; however, they’ve been built to be registered and street driven. It’s not all about good looks and breathtaking presentation, vehicles must incorporate a high degree of innovation, practicality and usability to have any chance of being a front runner in this intensely competitive category.

No undercarriage detailing will be accepted. Floor pans, chassis and mechanical components can be painted, but no filling of seams, welds or highly detailed areas.”

What is the definition of Elite Judging at Summernats?

“Elite recognises and rewards the supreme craftsmanship and build quality found at the absolute top level of restoration, customisation, with only the very best vehicles accepted to compete.”
