RIDLER Winners Before you can even be judged for that award, you first need to make the Great 8 Finalists – an elite group of cars that have strict guidelines attached to their entries. There are to be no photo’s or video’s posted anywhere showing the vehicle leading up to the doors being opened to the event. If you do, you won’t be considered for the Great 8 and you lose your chance to hold that impressive Ridler trophy. The vehicle must also prove to be operable. You must be able to start, stop and move the vehicle backwards and forwards under its own power, and must be driven to its display area. Those in contention for a place in the Great 8 will have their vehicles judged on the Thursday night with the Great 8 finalists announced on the Friday and introduced at the Ridlers Ball that night. None of the Great 8 vehicles will be eligible for any Autorama awards. 2011 - BRUCE RICKS - ‘56 Ford Convert.
