[ QUOTE ] Congrats! Now tell me what in the H$%^ is an Ego-rama???? [/ QUOTE ] This is the note that BobK got. It gives a good explanation of the event. Congratulations! The editors of Rod & Custom magazine have selected your car as one of 20 semi-finalists in the Asphalt Ego-Rama competition. The photo and description of your car which you submitted will appear in the September '04 issue of R&C (on sale June 22), along with the other semi-finalists. R&C readers will vote for the six finalists who will compete in Asphalt Ego-Rama. We will contact the six finalists by August 6. Those finalists will participate in a one-week road trip beginning in San Francisco on October 6 and ending in Los Angeles on October 12. Most of the event will be spent highway driving, stopping at various points of interests (including famous rod shops and manufacturers, scenic spots, a car show, and a dragstrip). During this week, the Rod & Custom staff will evaluate each car in the following categories: Driveability (comfort, ride, etc.) Engineering (how well the car is built) Gas Mileage Price (budget) People's Choice (determined at a one-day car show we will attend) Acceleration (private 1/4-mile time trials at a dragstrip) Braking (60-0 mph, done at the dragstrip) Cornering (determined on a private slalom course) Style Points (sportsmanship, etc.) Although it is a "competition", the point of the Asphalt Ego-Rama is to have fun, and to participate in an R&C magazine article. R&C will reserve hotel accomodations during the course of the event, but participants are responsible for all of their own expenses (hotel, gas, food, etc), just like on Americruise, Power Tour, and other events. Thank you for entering the Asphalt Ego-Rama competition. Look for the official ballot in the September issue and don't forget to vote for yourself. If you have any questions about Asphalt Ego-Rama, please e-mail me or call me. Good luck! Maybe we will see you in October. Tim Bernsau, feature editor, R&C
