This year Street Rodder is proud to team up with Turtle Wax and present a Top 100 program. We will travel to 10 events around the country and select ten hot rods that will eventually be judged by Street Rodder readers who will vote for the Turtle Wax Street Rodder Top 100 Street Rod of the Year. Make sure to go to www.streetrodderweb.com for more details. Voting will begin in mid-October.
You will be able to see online features of each of the cars selected from the ten events. Then toward the end of the year you the reader will vote. Each of the Top 100 finalists receives a SR jacket with the Turtle Wax Top 100 logo on it as well as a very "healthy" assortment of Turtle Wax products. Not bad for showing up at an event.
