Who can enter?

It's an open show, so it isn't limited to one make or era. Classics, muscle, trucks, imports and modern builds can all register. If you're not sure your car fits a class, ask the host before show day.

When to get there

Registration opens at 9:00 AM and closes at noon. Show cars that roll in early get first pick of parking spots and more time in front of judges and spectators. Plan to stay through the 2:00 PM awards if you're hoping for a trophy or cash award.

Getting to A.V. Bull Salas Park

The park is at 21675 McCleskey Rd in New Caney, northeast of Houston off US-59/I-69. Put the street address in your maps app rather than the park name so you land at the right entrance.

What to bring

  • Cash for registration and any vendors
  • Quick detailer and microfiber towels for touch-ups after the drive
  • A chair, sunscreen and water. November in Southeast Texas can still be warm by midday
  • A show board or spec sheet so spectators know what they're looking at
