Each car within the Show Class will be judged using traditional judging guidelines instituted by the ISCA, but will also judged using the above mentioned criteria.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Winners of the Elite 6 are awarded $2000. Out of those 6, one vehicle is selected to receive the Northeast Cup.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe NorthEast Cup is a one-of-a-kind custom, hand made award designed and built by Divine Kustomz, a hot rod builder from Rhode Island.
