First place in each class will receive $50 and a plaque. Second place in each class will receive $25 and a plaque. A $50 Participant's Choice: This prize will be awarded along with a plaque to the bike that receives the most votes as the best overall bike. If you are registered for Run-A-Mucca, then you get a vote, even if you don't have a bike in the show. Intending no personal insults to our highly qualified judges, this one is out of their hands. Each registered rally entrant will have one vote per registration. Entrants can use any standard they choose like “baggers are best”, or “mine is always better than yours”, or whatever, people’s choice. A $300 Best of Show: We know this will be a tough one, but our brave judges have volunteered to choose the best of show. Disclaimer: The classes will be judged solely on the personal preferences of the judges. We’ve done our best to find these awesome volunteers who have been around bikes for some time. They have been encouraged to use an open mind and their own eyes for details. No points may be awarded and no score sheets will be made available for review by contestants. Contestants are responsible for choosing the correct class for their bikes, and no package fees will be refunded. No whiners or crybabies please, this is a fun event. Good Luck.
