One of the highlights of the annual Goodguys Summit Racing Nationals in Columbus, Ohio every year is the crowning of the Street Machine of the Year winner.

Here’s the judging criteria, per Goodguys:

“This award is designed for a cutting-edge Street Machine which combines masterful build quality with extreme performance. Quality of craftsmanship, body & paint, overall engineering, the three F’s (fit, form and functionality) stance and overall creativity in design and concept is what the selection committee will seek.”

As you’d imagine, the competition is always fierce, and the judges have an incredibly difficult job to do in determining the winner.

How difficult? We hopped in with our cameras and snapped some pics of all the finalists. Check ’em out below and let us know your picks in the comments. We’ll give you an update once 2021’s Goodguys Street Machine of the Year winner is announced.
