The American Wheels Events Car Show and Motorcycle Event Judge Certification process is intended to support and enhance all other organizations providing such activities.  It is intended to be a stand alone certification for what can be called the “Local” or “Regional” open show events.  It is also available as an add-on certification to those holding credentials from ISCA (International Show Car Association), CHVA (Contemporary Historical Vehicle Association), AACA (American Antique Car Association) and any other certifying training programs. 

The modifications and adjustments to the judging process is to accommodate the growing number of local vehicle shows that are often of relatively short duration, often for four to five hours, although they will also accommodate longer multi-day events. Operators and organizations may have a series of such events and many have been occurring regularly for as many as 40 or 50 years. Some events are held only once a year and many held weekly and/or monthly in the same location.

The judging training will support the operators by encouraging a judging system with an adequate supply of certified persons, with practiced and impartial ability to assess the quality of the vehicles entered in the events and competitions..  It will support the automotive and motorcycle enthusiasts who enjoy car and bike shows, by establishing a common basis on which to develop their vehicles to enter in such events. These individuals are the true backbone of the car and bike show competitions.

Every effort is made for rules to be as clear, concise and fair as possible for the all exhibitors.
