      The Musclecar Triple Crown

      Is there such a thing? I was daydreaming at work and this popped into my head. I know theres the Ridler Award, Truck of the Year, Street Machine of the Year & so on. Has any builder ever won them all or built a vehicle to compete in something like a Triple Crown for cars.

      Doesn't Car craft have an event like that already that Bad Penny won this year.

      I think you're thinking of the optima Ultimate Street Car Challenge that was hosted by Hot Rod.

      Car Craft does have their Real Street Eliminator competition which happens at the Car Craft Nationals.

      I don't think so and now with the changes of the rules for SMOY I doubt it will ever happen. The Riddler has usually been street rod guys and for the most part, show cars. Yes, there are exceptions to that rule, including the most recent, Doug Cooper's Deuce-n-burg. However, most never see the street, much less an autocross. SMOY require at least laps on the autocross at a Goodguys event. I feel as time goes on, their performance on the autocross will weigh heavy in the judging, which to me is a good thing.
      While a triple crown is a great idea, I just don't see it happening.

      Read the title and was hoping to find something more like a performance triple crown. Would love to see some events that held a combo of drag race, autocross and road course. Best overall performers. Maybe a 0-100-0 also and points for good streetability.

      I was comparing it to the Triple Crown in horse racing. I didn't know what else to call it to make it clear. But yes, 3 such events to crown a car the ultimate PT/G-machine would be cool.
