TUNER JAM CAR SHOW
The Tuner Jam Car Show classification and judging offer a fair and unbiased competition experience. Participants also receive feedback and advice based on the knowledge of IASCA-certified judges. Entries are limited to twenty-five vehicles per category, which are:
- Best Asian.
- Best Domestic (2000 and up).
- Best European.
- Best Japanese Classic (Pre-2000).
- Best Truck.
- Best of Show.
There are three (3) Divisions:
- Rookie (Mild): The Rookie Division is for vehicles with simple modifications and an enhanced factory look. This division allows the competitor to upgrade things like wheels, tires, vinyl stickers/graphics, short wings, and simple stereo upgrades.
- Street (Semi Wild): The Street Division is for vehicles with more modifications than a Rookie vehicle, but they are still used as " daily drivers." It provides a fair and competitive format that balances the playing field between daily-driven vehicles and those with elaborate modifications.
- Ultimate (Wild): The Ultimate Division is designed for vehicles with extensive performance and appearance modifications. It intends to provide a fair and competitive format focusing on driven/trailered, show, or race cars.
First-place winners will receive $500 and a trophy; second-place winners will receive $250 and a trophy; third-place winners will receive $100 and a trophy; and the Best of Show will receive $100. Roll-in is at 2 p.m., and judging starts at 4 p.m. This show is invite only. Please enter a previous event to qualify.
SPECIALTY CATEGORIES
Tuner Jam Car Show competitors are automatically entered into specialty categories.
Best Tint Sponsored by SunTek: One winner from each Tuner Jam Car Show category will receive a trophy, $200, plus contingency payouts from SunTek (see Sponsors below). Vehicles will be judged on the following:
- IR Rejection (100 points) – The percentage of infrared rays blocked (1% = 1 point).
- Installation (40 points) – 100% contamination-free installations are almost impossible. Judges inspect for dirt particles, fibers, adhesive gels, air bubbles, scratches, creases, distortion, and light gaps.
- Product (20 points) – Is the product peeling, cracking, experiencing adhesive failure, and delamination?
- Cleanliness (25 points) – Are the windows clean and ready for inspection?
SOUND QUALITY CHALLENGE
The Sound Quality Challenge aims to evaluate automotive sound systems in five critical areas of sound reproduction: Tone Accuracy, Sound Stage, Imaging, Linearity, and Absence of Noise. The central premise of evaluation is to Judge the system in real-world applications. Categories are the following:
- Novice: Minor modifications to vehicle interior are allowed, but there is no connection to industry and one (1) seat judging.
- Amateur and Advanced Amateur: A higher level of modifications to vehicle interior allowed, no connection to industry, and one (1) seat judging.
- Pro 1, 2, and 3: A higher level of vehicle modifications is allowed. This category is open to all industry—and non-industry-related competitors whose vehicles meet the class requirements.
- Expert: Open to all industry- and non-industry-related competitors whose vehicles meet the class requirements. One (1) seat and two (2) seat judging, IQC and SPL, is required, and the IQC and SPL score will be combined with the SQC score to achieve one total score.
First to third-place winners will receive trophies.
