With the Ripon / Menlo Park Emergency Vehicle Show just over a month away (10/05/13) I wanted to let everyone know some changes we've made to the show.
In response to concerns about delays in the awards presentation the entries this year will be judged by teams of volunteer judges who are veterans and experts in the police car hobby. This will eliminate the need for counting over 1,500 votes and greatly speed up the awards process. There will be a people's choice category so participants can still pick their favorites.
The rule about no emergency equipment being allowed on cars in the daily driver class will be strictly enforced. This rule has been in place for a number of years but due to complaints we will step up enforcement by either asking the equipment be removed or the vehicle being moved to another class.
.
Please make sure your car is registered in the appropriate class, every year we have to move a few cars to the correct category which slows down the process for other entrants. Please take a minute to check the classes and determine where your car should be. If you have any questions feel free to contact us. If at all possible please pre register as this will not only speed up your entrance to the show it will allow us to make sure we have adequate room to park the all vehicles in a class together.
When traveling to and from the show make sure you are in compliance with all vehicle codes regarding emergency equipment and markings.
Thanks for your support and we look forward to seeing you at the show.
