The guy that drove the F-Bird finalist all around town during the event, should be applauded. I'm really not worried about if a car meets certain state requirements for being " legal" street worthy, as many have pointed out, they vary state by state. If part of the overall decision on the winner, is how the do in the auto-cross, why not bring them to the drag strip and see how they do in the 1/8 mile drag ? Perhaps, we need to start from the beginning, and define, "What is a real Street Machine". If you attend many local shows, I'm sure you will see a lot of different interpretations of this definition.

It's Good Guys' show and their award so they get to define what a street machine is and how it's judged. Start your own show and award and when people come from all over the Country to shoot for your award, you can make them jump through any hoop you want and award them based on any criteria you want. Besides that, the industry trends are P-T type cars like this site is all about so an autocross is extremely relevant not to mention the logistics of dragging everyone to the drags and alienating the paying audience who are at the fairgrounds.
