Modern advertising is also frowned upon, although historically correct class markings are encouraged.<\/p>\n<p>Drivers must show a current competition license or evidence of successful completion of a competition driving school. Novices will be allowed to participate, and, if they demonstrate the required skills, will be given the same status as licensed drivers for future hillclimbs. Among the changes for 2008, novices will no longer be required to wear a fireproof suit, or to equip their cars with five-point belts and a roll bar.<\/p>\n<p>A show on Sunday will feature the Chevrolet Corvette, and salute the centenaries of the Model T and General Motors. The entry fee, which includes a ticket to the Saturday night participants&#8217; party, is $125, and crew members&#8217; tickets are $15 each. A $25 late fee will be added for registrations received after April 25.
