Remembering Bill New
(1934 – 2014)
Producer of the Boise Roadster Show for the past 42 years, Bill New passed away of natural causes at his home on February 11, 2014, with family by his side. Bill, who was 79, was born August 16, 1934, in Bisbee, Arizona. The patriarch of the New Crew not only founded the Boise Roadster Show, Idaho’s largest motorsport’s event, but also Firebird Raceway back in 1968. A family run operation, the Roadster Show will take place on March 6-9 at Expo Idaho in Idaho’s capital city of Boise. Sanctioned by the ISCA since it’s inception in 1973, the show has gained nation prominence and respect from both the exhibitor and fan alike. Bill had a motto to treat the competitors just like the way he would want to be treated if he were showing at an event. This held true at every show he produced over the past many year, and his NHRA Drag Racing facility, too. An active member of the ISCA Producer’s organization, Bill attended nearly every function dating back to the start of the Boise show. He had a very close relationship with the late Bob Larivee Jr., along with former producer Bob Schoonhoven who was a close friend and mentor, originally helping get the Roadster Show off the ground floor in the early 70’s, in addition to many others in the industry. Bill was married to his wife Ellanor for the past 53 years. He was the father of three sons, Scott, John and Brad, and grandfather of three grandsons, Connor, Colin and Austyn.

News Flash! By Bob Millard —
It has been approved, the 2014 ISCA Championship Finals will be held in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on the weekend of April 25th – 27th, 2014. As in the past, the Finals will be a show within a show. The producers from Lafayette were given the opportunity to change the venue to the Baton Rouge River Center and after much consideration the decision was made to relocate the show. There will be twice as many cars, more vendors, and a considerably larger surrounding population to expectantly appeal to more spectators - hopefully boosting attendance. Across the street from the venue is the host hotel, the “Belle of Baton Rouge Casino and Hotel" offering a rate of $99.00 per night to patrons. Please use the promotional code "ISCA 2014" when booking rooms to redeem this rate. I would like to thank George and Blaine, the producers of the event, for having us back in Louisiana for the second time. I am sure we will have an extraordinary show! We are looking forward to another positive season with even more competition!

New for 2014
For the first time in a number of years, there will be an ISCA Grand Champion award recipient at the Finals in Baton Rouge, LA. The ISCA Grand Champion will be determined by the ISCA judging staff responsible for the Finals. After the judging staff selects each category award winner in Baton Rouge, LA and after further scrutinizing each category winner once more, the ISCA Grand Champion will be awarded to the "Best of the Best".
The Street Machine Comp category will again be one of the five judging categories for the 2014 ISCA Championship Finals. In the past, we have repositioned this category a couple of times, but felt because of the quality and quantity of Street Touring and Pro Touring entries to ISCA judged shows, we felt obligated to reinstate this category. Moving forward, if you have an entry that competes in any Street Machine, Pro Street, Street Touring, Pro Touring or Competition class, it will be competing in the Street Machine Comp category. If you have any questions concerning this change, please contact your regional representative listed in the ISCA rulebook, any ISCA Supervisor, or call Bob Millard at (586) 703-2381.
Quick Note:
A Best Bike and Outstanding Bike award has not historically been presented at every ISCA judged show. For the 2014 season ALL ISCA shows will award and present a Best Bike and an Outstanding Bike award.

New for 2014
All ISCA shows will be presenting class awards as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, place winners.
In the past some shows have used this method and some have used the terms Best, Outstanding, and Place. Using the ladder has been very confusing for many participants because the Special Awards also are listed as Best and Outstanding. To ensure consistency and clarity among the entire roster, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place system will be used in the 2014 show season and beyond.
