Before you come
Questions
Short answers to what people actually ask. If it is not here, email us and we will add it.
What does it cost to come watch?
Nothing. Spectators get in free, all day.
What does it cost to show a car?
$20 per car, paid at the gate on show day. We take cash or card. Registering online is free and just reserves your spot — there is no online payment.
I registered online. Why am I not on the list yet?
Because we still need to know your email address is real. Right after you register we send you a confirmation link — open it and click the button, and your car number is assigned on the spot. Until then your spot is only held. If the link is not clicked within seven days the entry is deleted. Check your spam folder if it has not turned up.
Can I register the morning of the show?
Yes. Day-of registration is welcome starting at 10:00 AM at the gate. Registering online ahead of time helps us plan the lot, and the first 50 cars to confirm get dash plaques.
What if it rains?
Our rain date is Sunday, October 25, 2026. If we have to move the show, we will post it on this site and email everyone who registered.
When is judging, and when are awards?
Judging begins at 12:00 PM. Awards are handed out at 2:00 PM, and the show wraps up around 3:00 PM.
Is there food on site?
Yes. City BBQ and Staying Alive Refreshments will both be on the lot. There are also door prizes and a 50/50 raffle through the day.
Can I bring a trailer or a tow vehicle?
Sorry — there is no parking for trailers or tow vehicles at the venue. Cars need to be driven in.
