I asked that question one time at a national event since a friend of mine had his new racecar there and the answer was National Dragster picks Best Appearing Car and Best Appearing Crew. The tech department picks Best Engineered.

Sounds like this time they were told to pick Best Appearing Chevrolet.

Wholly Smolly....that car is NICE! Previos pictures did no justice to that car.

I received best appearing at a national event first tim out with new paint job. I was not only humbled, but stunned. But still very proud of the award.

I would say Mr. Driller has his turn coming. That car is to nice to ignore!!!!!

My dad said this was the nicest car he has ever seen, and he can fabricate anything as nice as anyone, those oil rigs on the fenderwells are bead rolled in, not just painted. Herb said this car isn't just a race car, from a fabricators stand point its a work of art.
