Show Guidelines

To ensure the safety of all participants, respect our neighbors, and protect the future of this event, we kindly ask everyone to follow all traffic laws and maintain full control of their vehicles at all times. Your cooperation is essential to keeping this car show a positive experience for everyone involved.
Please follow these important guidelines:

Do not stand along the street where vehicles are exiting the show. This includes avoiding photography or videography from the roadside.
Do not challenge, taunt, or encourage drivers to rev their engines, accelerate aggressively, or perform burnouts.
Avoid generating excessive noise on the show grounds or surrounding areas.
Exit the event safely and at a controlled speed — reckless driving puts others at risk and reflects poorly on the show.

We ask for your respectful compliance with these rules so we can continue working in harmony with local residents and the broader community. Violations may result in a vehicle being banned from future shows — or worse, jeopardize our ability to host these events altogether.
Thank you for doing your part to keep this car show safe, enjoyable, and meaningful as we support local charities and bring the community together.

Show Guidelines

To ensure the safety of all participants, respect our neighbors, and protect the future of this event, we kindly ask everyone to follow all traffic laws and maintain full control of their vehicles at all times. Your cooperation is essential to keeping this car show a positive experience for everyone involved.
Please follow these important guidelines:

Do not stand along the street where vehicles are exiting the show. This includes avoiding photography or videography from the roadside.
Do not challenge, taunt, or encourage drivers to rev their engines, accelerate aggressively, or perform burnouts.
Avoid generating excessive noise on the show grounds or surrounding areas.
Exit the event safely and at a controlled speed — reckless driving puts others at risk and reflects poorly on the show.

We ask for your respectful compliance with these rules so we can continue working in harmony with local residents and the broader community. Violations may result in a vehicle being banned from future shows — or worse, jeopardize our ability to host these events altogether.
Thank you for doing your part to keep this car show safe, enjoyable, and meaningful as we support local charities and bring the community together.
