Organized through the tireless efforts of DJ
and promoter, Paul Rippy, the inaugural South-port ‘Vest A Cop’ car show was held Saturday,October 12 in the parking lot behind Renais-sance Electronic Services and next to the newSouthport Police Department administrationbuilding in Southport.Sunny skies helped attract a great turn-out of104 classic, restored and customized automo-biles, trucks, hot-rods and motorcycles.The event, free to the public, had softdrinks, hotdogs, and event shirts available. Allproceeds were donated to the Southport PoliceDepartment to purchase new ballistic vests (Federal Law mandates that all police ballisticvests must be upgraded every 3-years) for the force of more than 50
officers. Southport businesses generously stepped-up with donations and contributions totalling over $8,000 prior to the start of the event.There were 12-judged categories, Top-20 awards, Overall Best Of Show along with dash-plaques awarded to the first 100 entrants.

Wall 
plaques were awarded to the Top 20 winners, while both wall plaques and banners were awarded to category winners.

Special thanks to the Judges:
 Tim Walker, Glenn DavidHollandworth,Tony Nelis and Mark Timbs for taking the time to
meticulously and fairly judge each and every entrant. It was a diffcult
task considering the number and quality of all the cars, trucks hot-rods and motorcycles.

The Southport Police Department is recently agreeing on the applications for the annual “Shop with a Cop” program. While the department would appreciate to assist every child with a requirement, obtainable resources require the need to restrict the program to families inside the Southport 28461 zip code. The age restriction for children will remain at 14 unless there are particular situation, and these situations should be marked on the application. We are celebrating more than a century of speeding up history emphasizing Southport’s epic motor sporting ancestry. Southport will come as a dynamic to the distinctive highlights, sounds and smells that these cars will make for everyone’s happiness and fun. A royal procession of all cars, repeating the genuine Groundbreaking 1903 speed trial course, ahead of Lord Street and the Promenade, will be the climax of the day’s events!
