Look here. Hope that helps.

Thanks, the pics are awesome. When you see just the front shot of the grill on the Innovator, it kind of makes you wonder. But when you see all the pics of the interior, front and rear and the paint scheme you really see how bad ass it is. It seems the award was well deserved.

Nope it didn't make Top 5. Darn it! That's something else I usually do - take a pic of the SMOY and SROY line-ups inside the building, at the ceremony. Never crossed my mind this year?! :rolleyes:

who the hell was in the top 5???

When you compare, detail for detail, disregarding any personal biases or subjective concerns - it was clearly the leader of the pack. My personal favorite was the Runt, but that's admittedly very subjective. I like 1st gen Novas more; now that I am "old", I like subtle cues and darker shades; etc. Take all that away and just consider the details and Innovator is undeniable. There is more there than you can take in in a few walk-arounds.

Another thing I thought about is the fact that the people at the show probably don't really have the same appreciation for what makes this car so special, because we saw all the metalworking pics. There should have been a video playing next to it showing what we saw. Then people would look at the car to see how certain areas turned out. That's what I, and probably all the Lateral-G members, did.

You missed my "live", in the field, coverage! :D Innovator (RS), Runt (RPM), Dragon (RB), the Anvil Stang, and the gold Stang. Do those last two cars have names?

Cool to see the Firebird there!!
Im guessing it wont get an award.. but it could possibly be the car there has been the most driven and abused in the past year. I got to keep that car at my house for 2 months here in Socal... put all the break in miles on it... had that junk going 160+ while racing my Camaro.... lol.

Love that car!!!!!!! :captain:

From what im hearing this radical Road Runner was puking and sputtering and he didnt even bother bringing the car out on sat.
Amazing show this inNOVAtor! nova was off the chains with the incredible amount of fabrication and details sick sick ride!
Congrats!
