All three venues can accommodate a large spectator crowd and also contain large/flat grass fields to support show cars and the viewing of them.
In addition, we will have 5 "Member Gatherings, which you can find further below on this page.
The cost to attend our 3 large car shows is:

$5 per passenger or spectator

All entrance costs are collected at the spectator gates and show cars gates at each show the day of the show.
We no longer provide on-line tickets nor pre-registration due to the transaction fees associated with taking on-line payments and the large number of ticket scams on social media. WE DO NOT SELL ONLINE EVENT TICKETS.
