As Mother Nature’s cruelest curse shortens our daylight hours and temperatures head into the tank, we can draw some comfort from knowing that Auto Show season has arrived. Right now, the LA Auto Show has its door open and the full schedule of International Auto Shows kicks in in January.
Still, it can be a long winter for those of you not close to another metropolis like Detroit, Chicago, Toronto or New York. Well, there is some very good news for the rest of the country, too. Summit Racing Equipment has announced the schedule for their new Show Car Series, and it has a barn-busting 37 events listed.
Starting on November 25-28 with the 51st Autorama in Houston, the schedule begins in earnest on January 7-9, with events in Cincinnati, Chattanooga and Little Rock. Every weekend through to the end of March has at least one show, and more usually two or three. The schedule finishes up with April shows in Boston and Quebec City, Canada.
Summit Racing Equipment assumed title sponsorship of the series – considered to be the world’s largest indoor car show series – in 2009. The shows include an International Show Car Association (ISCA)-sanctioned competition. Seven categories, which include Truck/Van, Competition, Rod, Custom, Bike, Antique/Restored and Street Machine allow participants to compete for cash and product prizes, which total $85,000 for the series.
