Tri-Five Nationals presented by CPP

 The TOP 25, TOP 5 and Tri-Five of the Year program will be run exactly the same way with only one twist:  to be considered for the coveted TOP 25, you MUST be parked in the new designated American Tri-Five Association (ATFA) Show Field on Friday by 10am. Parking in this area will be limited to about 100 cars, so don’t sleep in if you want a spot! These cars are the top of the top and are normally fresh new builds from all around the country. With the competing cars in one area, the coveted Lokar Top 25 spots will be a sight to behold for all and will make finding all these cars much easier for our car show staff. Vehicles will be pre-qualified as they drive into the show area by our staff.

The ATFA All Stars. The only downfall to being picked for a TOP 25 at the Tri-Five Nationals is that once a vehicle has been picked, you cannot compete for TOP 25 at a future Tri-Five Nationals with that same vehicle unless significant changes have been made to the vehicles over all appearance. We now have many amazing cars and trucks bestowed the honor of being picked a TOP 25, and we want to see them all back at the show. 

On Thursday, the American Tri-Five Association Show Field will be open to all past TOP 25 winners. All vehicles should be parked by 10am to qualify to win a place in the “ATFA All Stars.” Each year, our past winners who are at the Tri-Five Nationals will compete for a place in our version of The ATFA Hall of Fame. The first nine Tri-Five of the Year winners will automatically be inducted into the All Stars and be acknowledged on the starting line Saturday night at the awards, along with three selected competing vehicles who are presented the honor at the Tri-Five Nationals. 

A panel of industry judges will judge all the entries that are present by 10am Thursday. The judging criteria will be set by the panel and will not be peer influenced. This group of All Stars will be presented individual awards along with getting their names added to a legacy award that will list all the names of those in the ATFA All Stars. 

ATFA Heritage Award – This award is for original, restored original, and factory appearing cars and trucks. To be considered for this prestigious award you must park in the WINNERS CIRCLE by 10am on Friday. The winner will be judged by a panel using a silent ballot system, and an award will be given out Saturday evening at the awards.  We want to celebrate the way these amazing vehicles looked when they left the showroom floor. 

On Saturday we are inviting 2 different groups to park in the American Tri-Five Association Show Field to be honored and compete for very special awards. Space will be limited, and vehicles will be pre-qualified as they drive into the show area. To be considered for awards you must be parked by 10am. Space is limited.

ATFA’s Perfect Patina. Patina'd cars have become the rage, and we want to celebrate them. Patina must be combined with some upgrades to either engine, suspension or interior.

ATFA TOP Truck.  Trucks continue to gain popularity, and we want to support this trend.
