awards at 40’s are given out in a completely different way than most car shows. awards are determined with a 40 oz bottle of beer, placed in front of the car that is most popular, but in the people’s hands. you as a attendie decides the winner, not a group of hired hands with no knowledge of the hardware. if you think its the best ride there, then place your 40 oz in front of that car. thats literally it!! the car with the most amount of 40’s, is the winner of the show! other awards are also determined throughout the day for promotors choice, shorties at 40s, Mr 40s award, coal rollers, sound off winner, and more!
