2025 Speedway Motors Homebuilt Heaven Contest Hits Goodguys Social Media in January
The Speedway Motors Homebuilt Heaven and Traditional Homebuilt Heaven awards are chosen from at all Goodguys events from the Homebuilt Heaven Saturday parking area. Car owners who have done much of their own work on their vehicles can choose to park in that area and get a small placard to fill out indicating which of the tasks they did themselves, and which ones they farmed out to professionals.
At every Goodguys event a Homebuilt Heaven winner and a Traditional Homebuilt Heaven winner are selected and at the end of the season a contest is ran to select overall Homebuilt Heaven and Traditional Homebuilt Heaven winners. Each overall winner will receive a gift certificate and swag pack from Speedway Motors, as well as a feature on their winning vehicle in an upcoming issue of the Goodguys Gazette to delve deeper into their homebuilt rides.
