THE OFFICIAL CARE CARE PRODUCT FOR
THE SYRACUSE NATIONALS


One car owner at the 2011 Syracuse Nationals will be the recipient of the 2nd
Annual Winfield Award. The prestigious award for automotive excellence will
be presented by master car customizer and builder Gene Winfield.

The winner will receive a beautiful one of a kind award, a personalized comm-
emorative jacket, and $5,000.



Gene is a master of his craft, and world famous for his custom cars and hot rods.
A recipient of the 2001 NHRA Lifetime Achievement Award, he has over 60 years
experience in custom hot rod fabrication, land speed, and oval track racing.
Winfield is one of the key players who started the customizing craze that first
swept through California and then throughout the nation in the '50s and '60s.
Gene's cars have appeared in more than 25 motion pictures.



Winfield's best known custom car, the "Jade Idol," started as a '56 Mercury.
The "Jade Idol" positioned Winfield at the leading edge of auto exotica. This
car took two years to build and received top sweepstakes awards at national
car shows for the next several years.

Entrants for the Winfield Award will be required to submit photos of their vehicle
and a complete list of modifications by April 1st 2011. All entrants must have
at least one radical modification. (e.g. chopped, sectioned, and/or channeled).
Vehicles 1937 or newer are welcome for entry.

From these entries Gene will nominate 14 vehicles before the show.
On Friday July 15th Gene will then pick six of the 14 nominees
to be known as the “Select Six.”

These vehicles will be prominently displayed inside one of the main buildings
at the Syracuse Nationals, July 15-17, 2011.

Each of the six finalists will receive a plaque, jacket and $500.

Final judging by Gene Winfield will take place at the show, with the winner
being announced Saturday July 16th, during the annual Syracuse Nationals
dinner dance.
