While the Grand Champion gong is the pinnacle award at Street Machine Summernats, for builders of elite showcars, Top Judged is the one they want to win. To get there, you’ll need to make the Elite Top 10 and then place at the top of that list.
The fact that the honour roll of Top Judged winners has Rex Webster and his FJ Holden as the first winner is fitting for a car that set a new standard for elite show cars in this country. Who will win at Summernats 37? Stay tuned right here to find out!
