Frequently asked questions
- What kind of security is available at the Atlantis parking lots?
The Atlantis will provide security for the car show lot. You will be issued a pass either through the Atlantis Hotel Registration or when you arrive at the car show registration area. Only those provided with these passes will be able to enter the car show area after show hours.

- What is your policy on cancellations?
Any and all refunds must be requested in writing and postmarked before May 12th, 2009. We have to make firm commitments to the people we are hiring shortly thereafter. This pertains to food, mainly. The Atlantis hotel has it’s own cancellation policy, so you should check with them when you make your reservations.
- Are there restrictions on what I can bring to the show?
The parking will be out doors in the Atlantis parking lot. While we are planning to space the cars so that there are no door dings and plenty of room around each car for people to walk around, we are not able to allow canopies and EZ-ups. The use of mirrors, mats, stanchions and other display materials may cause us to have to park you in an area away from the other cars if they take up more space than normal. This could make it harder for people to remember to vote for your car. The best thing is to tell us in advance what you are planning. We will do all we can to accommodate you if possible. Please remember Reno can have some periods of high winds where loose items can be blown into your car and those around you. Our main goal is the protection of your beautiful vehicles.
- Are cars other than Chevys allowed to enter?
Absolutely!! All makes and models are welcome as long as they are 1979 or older
- How will my car be judged?
Each participant is given a judging sheet and is aked to judge a car not in his/her class. Participants must return their judging sheets in order to receive a dash plaque. They will also be given a raffle ticket for the portable gas BBQ when the judging sheet is returned.The scores are tallied by club members and ranged according to score with highest score winning that class. In case of a tie, the car owners will be contacted and they will be asked to draw a card from a deck of cards. The high card will be awarded the trophy. Club members do not participate in the judging. The "Best Of" trophies are selected by a committee of impartial classic car experts selected by our sponsor, TKO Motorsports.
