Registration for the Camaro Nationals includes admission to the GM Nationals. The sticker on your car allows entrance Thursday through Sunday for your Camaro, two adults and 2 children.

This is an explanation of the various classes offered at the Camaro Nationals. They are broken down into judged and non-judged; and the judged classes are then broken down into participant vote, 200 point, 500 point, 1000 point, and 5000 point systems. The classes are more detailed and more difficult as the point system increases, and obviously, it takes more time to judge them as the points level goes up.



Participant Vote Classes Participant vote classes are open to all Camaros. They are frequently used by owners who want to compete, but may not feel their Camaro would stand up to the scrutiny of the points judged classes. All Camaro Nationals attendees are asked to vote for their favorite Camaros in each of following stock and modified classes, and the tallied vote decides the 1st, 2nd & 3rd place winners. The Camaro with the single highest number of votes is chosen as the Participant Best of Show. All Camaros in this class will receive goodie bags, a 'GM Nationals' dash plaque, and will be eligible for door prizes and 'best of' awards. The first 250 pre-registered cars will receive a 'Camaro Nationals' dash plaque in addition to the above.
