2009 H.C.P.U.

Hot rodding is about two things – building your own car and driving it - FAST! Sure, they may be built to attract girls or to beat the pants off your friend in a drag race, but it’s all about building and driving. The Hunnert Car Pileup is for hot rodders who build their cars, and drive them. The Pileup is about hanging out, meeting new friends, and seeing old ones. It is about checking out the craftsmanship in others’ cars, and showing off your own. It is about great music, art, and finding that rare part. It is a nod to a bygone era that lives in each of us. It is about the drive there, the drive home, and the story that goes in between.

The Hunnert Car Pileup is always the second weekend in October, which makes it Saturday, October 10th this year. This will be our 6th year at the historic Grundy County Speedway and Fairgrounds in Morris, IL. Yeah, it’s dusty and cold, but we like it. Suck it up, nancy boy.

Last year we had about 1200 traditional hot rods, customs, and motorcycles pass inspection and roll through the gates, nearly 60 vendors and 7 rockabilly, bluegrass, surf, and garage bands. We expect a similar turn out this year.

If you have never been to the Pileup, you should check the show’s Entry Criteria to see if your car will pass inspection. The show is strictly limited to 1964 and earlier hot rods and customs, built in a “traditional” style. Check out some of the previous years pics to give you an idea of what we consider to be “traditional”. It is not about attitude, rust, or how many skulls can be painted on a hood. It is about real hot rods and customs. The Pileup is not about trophies. We don’t give them, so don’t expect them!

The price of admission for show cars/trucks/motorcycles is $20 and spectators is $5. Parking is free for spectators and non-show cars.  The gates open at 9am and the show will go on rain or shine… or snow.

Buy stuff from the Pileup sponsors! They support this show, so you should support them. Check them out on the Sponsor page.
