People haul their junk over 1,000 miles for this. We only have room for around 100 show vehicles. Scarcity is real. If you want a spot, don't sleep on it.
Probably a terrible idea. You should come anyway.
Line up for dirt-track chaos, loose traction, and old-school sideways fun. Bring something rowdy, keep it controlled, and let the crowd hear it.
Our burnout pad showdown. Smoke the tires, make noise, and give the crowd a reason to cheer. Trophies handed out for the best, worst, and most memorable tire murder.
A fast-paced lug-nut/tire-change challenge built for bragging rights. Quick hands, loud friends, and no excuses.
A model car contest for the builders, collectors, and detail nerds. Bring your coolest mini build and show off the small-scale madness.
A spotlight for the ladies of the showβdrivers, builders, riders, wrenchers, and troublemakers who help keep the culture alive.
Kid-friendly chaos with Hot Wheels, valve cover racing, tire-change fun, and ways for the next generation to get involved.
Buy someone else's problem. Sell your own. Parts, projects, vehicles, tools, signs, garage junk, and whatever else fits the vibe. Cash is king.
