Q:What is the Memphis 2008 Car Show? (Tweed need not apply).
A: Paula and Doug Bousley are the organizers for the 2008 event, but this is not your normal car show here! No Q-tips or cotton balls, no 1000 point judging system, no drive-em-off-the-trailer-only Trailer Queens. These cars run as fast as they look good! YOU are the judge, not some snob in a tweed jacket with white gloves, a dental mirror and a magnifying glass.

Q:What are the Rules and Regulations for the Car Show?
A:- Entering the Car Show show is free - however you will have to pay the "misc fee" that is applied if you participate in any event, car show included, to cover the cost of trophies.
- You will receive a dash card at the welcome desk. Anytime your car is parked, put the card on the dash. The card will contain your registration number, owner name, vehicle information, and any outstanding features.
- All owners will receive a ballot at the welcome desk to fill out and turn in anytime from start to finish. There will be a ballot box at the main hotel lobby and in the paddock at the NFME HQ pop-up tent. Only one ballot per vehicle.
- Throughout the event there will be "Car Show Rows" setup in high traffic areas both at lunchtime in the paddock and in the evening at the HQ hotels parking lot. It is not mandatory for your car to be in "Car Show Row" to be voted on, but it will help exposure for your car.
- All ballots must be turned in by the end of lunch, 1:00 PM, on Saturday. Ballots will be tallied Saturday afternoon to determine the winner. To reinforce the motorsports nature of the NFME, 2 bonus points will be given to cars that compete in each of the 3 on-track events (dragrace, autocrosss, road course) for a maximum of 6 bonus points. This will hopefully help balance the field between the folks who come and race and the 100% showcar, garage queens. The only caveat is that you must receive at least one non-bonus vote for your votes to count (IOW, you can't win a trophy with bonus points alone; somebody's got to vote for you also).
- Aside from the "Best of Show" trophy, no car can win more than one trophy.
- In an effort to increase car show voting, we're introducing the Car Show Ballot Raffle (CSBR)! This is completely separate from the Banquet Raffle so please don't get the 2 confused. Basically, each completely and properly filled out ballot will make you eligible for the CSBR drawing which will be held during the Car Show awards presentation. So don't forgot to vote!
