A Symphony of Spectacular Cars

These aren’t mere vehicles; they’re stories etched in steel and chrome. And guess what? You’re invited to the gallery.

Builders’ Showcase: Where Dreams Rev Up
Imagine forty of America’s premier car builders flexing their creative muscles. These aren’t your average grease monkeys; they’re automotive visionaries. Their vehicles—rolling sculptures—will be on display, turning heads and sparking conversations. And on Sunday, August 6th, the “Circle of Winners” will feature forty-four outstanding rods from the event. It’s like the Oscars, but with more horsepower.
Trade Show Extravaganza: Fuel for Your Imagination
Over 300 manufacturers and dealers of specialty automotive equipment will strut their stuff. Imagine a massive swap meet, but instead of rusty wrenches, you’ll find shiny chrome, high-performance parts, and cutting-edge accessories.
