2008 H.C.P.U.

Welcome to www.HunnertCarPileup.com

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 11th this year. This will be our 5th 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 900 traditional hot rods, customs, and motorcycles pass inspection and roll through the gates, nearly 50 vendors, dozens of guys selling vintage parts in the Swap Meet Corral, and 7 rockabilly, honky tonk, 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. 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.

When at the Pileup, The Grundy County Fairgrounds ask that you abide by some common sense rules:
1. No Glass Containers! You can bring in drinks as long as they are in plastic or cans.
2. No Irresponsible Vehicular Behavior! Burnouts or anything that is reckless is unacceptable. There are many small children running in and out of the cars and lanes. Flame throwing is allowed, but only in the Ring of Fire.
3. No cruising or driving around in the fairgrounds. Once you are parked, your car must remain parked until you leave.
4. No riding bicycles, mini bikes, pit bikes, golf carts… bring them to show, but leave them parked. This includes the Pit area/Swap Meet Corral. If you need a vehicle to get around due to medical conditions, please ask.
5. No Pets! The only exception here is guide dogs.
6. No Fires! Even if it’s cold, even in a fire pit, no fires at all.
7. No Under Age Drinking. The Fairgrounds are no different than anywhere else. You will be arrested.

If you do not follow the rules, you will be asked to leave promptly. Local law enforcement will enact the local laws as needed.

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