NH MUSCLE CARS 2026 EVENTS SEASON
Interested in being a vendor at a show? Go here to learn more and to register.
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 ON-LINE EVENT TICKETS.
In 2026 we will again host 3 large car shows: Our Season Opener at Deerfield Fairgrounds, our Summer Sizzler at Star Speedway, and our Season Closer at Deerfield Fairgrounds. Each show will feature several unique components and activities, in addition to providing a car show. All 3 shows will feature 35 trophies, "fair food" vendors, outdoor vendors, special exhibits and/or activities, and 2 will have live music. All of our shows are family friendly, open to the public, and are "all vehicle" car shows. Our venues can accommodate a large spectator crowd and also contain large/flat grass fields to support show cars and the viewing of them.
You do not have to be a club member to attend our shows or show your car.
The cost to attend any of our 3 large car shows is:
$20 per show car, includes driver and passenger
$5 per spectator
Kids 12 and under FREE
In addition to our 3 car shows, we will have 5 "Member Gatherings, which you can find further below on this page, once announced.
Cost of entrance is collected right at the gates on the day of the show, for both show cars and spectators.

MUSCLE CAR MANIA
Ladies and gentlemen… start your engines.
This year we’re unleashing the showdown everyone has been waiting for:
FORD vs. GM vs. MOPAR
Inside both barns, the gloves are coming off for a full-blown Muscle Car Shootout. Roughly 12 elite machines from each manufacturer will enter the arena, each one fighting to claim their brand’s Manufacturer’s Trophy.
But the battle doesn’t end there.
Once the smoke clears and the champions rise, the three winners will collide in one final clash of horsepower & steel.
Ford. GM. Mopar. One last fight. Only one will stand above them all.
Only one will claim the crown.
The victor will be crowned “King of Muscle Cars”, draped in the King’s robe, and hoist the trophy as the undisputed ruler of the barn.
So here’s the challenge: Is YOUR machine worthy of the throne?
If you think your ride has what it takes, GO HERE, fill out the form and throw your hat in the ring.
We’ll take a look… and decide if your car is ready to enter the arena.
This is an all vehicle show
