Please mark on your Calender October 30,2004. In downtown Aiken S.C. will be the AIKEN EXOTIC CAR FESTIVAL. The benefactor of this show will be "FRIENDS OF AIKEN RAILROAD DEPOT". This is a civic group who wants to rebuild the Aiken Passenger Depot to its Original state in 1898. The show will be Saturday. There will be a "WELCOME TO AIKEN" Gathering on Fridat Night and an awards gala on Saturday night. Plenty of things for the ladies to do.

ALL PROCEEDS from everything exept the entry fee go to the charity "NO ADMINISTRATION FEES WILL BE APPLIED" The entry fee of $40.00 will be used to cover the expenses of the show. There will be trophies (crystal trophies with an award certificate for your wall) plus other special trophies.
Would like to hear from any qualified judges for the Ferrari classes. There will be 3 or 4. VERY LIMITED SPACE since it is in downtown Aiken on NEWBERRY STREET. Want to know more about Aiken www.aiken.net. For more information e-mail or call the Leatherique Office or Aiken Downtown Development.
It should be a great time at a wonderful venue.

Mike this year, 2004, unless I get TRUE CONCOURS QUALIFIED JUDGES we will not be getting into the "VALVE STEM COVER" type of judging. The best way to look at it is the nicer car wath the most EYE APPEAL will probably win. There are chances in the future to look at the TINY THINGS. But I do not want to chase away people with a car that they have made a real piece of eye candy because of "TO MANY HORSES". The board at SEECARR will set a criteria for each class so as to keep the EXOTIC CAR FESTIVAL THEME in tact but not go overboard.
Some may read this and say that we are "NOT A CONCOURS" they are correct. When, not if, when we reach that point we will adjust but I will not ever keep out a true Exotic.
Do not read this that we will have a Chevy Powered Ferrari and call it one. If somebody has a Chevy powered Ferrari and wants to bring it, that is what the Aiken Horsepower Association meets are for. They will be there on display in another area of the venue and feature Rods, Customs and such.
Thank you for the question.
