Car Show judging standards is the most important aspect of any car show. A standard that is established so car show competitors know what areas the judging committee is looking for when judging your vehicle at an event. Our judging staff is an experienced group who all has built or competed in auto shows at a national level. Our most senior judging members have competed within the International Show Car Association (ISCA) and knows what it takes to build a winning show car. The purpose of this post is to touch on the areas we, as judges, look for when…

The Low Rollers End of Summer Bash was back for its 19th year and as in past years it was an amazing show. Even though you could not have asked for nicer weather, attendance was not as high as hoped. I have been attending this show since 2008 and every year it seems to get a little smaller. This is unfortunate since the people that no longer attend seem to be the same ones saying there are no good minitruck shows anymore. Hopefully the show will make it to the 20th year but that decision still has not been made…

All Truck Nationals 2015 presented by Carlisle Events is in the books. I have been going to this show since 2008 and have always had an amazing time. Over the years I have met some amazing people and I have seen some equally amazing builds. It is one of the highlights of my year to go to the All Truck Nationals. No matter what type of truck you like it will most likely be found on the show field or fun field not to mention the specialty areas. This year there was a large group of Syclones and Typhones on display…

The 3rd Annual 2015 CF Charities Supercar Show is an event that is not to be missed if you live in the Northeast USA and love exotic and hyper cars. The highlight cars this year included an SSC Ultimate Aero, Mosler Raptor GTR, Saleen S7 and the amazing Ferrari LaFerrari just to name a few. I’ve been attending the CF Charities Supercar Weekend from the first and hope to go to many more in the future. I’ve always loved to see the random one or two exotics at a show but when the show is centered on them it truly is a special experience.…

WannaGOFAST Virginia Half Mile Shootout is a 2-DAY event that was held May 2nd & 3rd, 2015 at the stunning Ingalls Field Airport in Hot Springs, VA. The small Virginia airport is perched atop the Warm Springs Mountain ridge line at near 4000 ft. elevation. This high elevation created a challenge for those entered to race. Aside from some clouds and wind you could not ask for better weather to race in. Some of the cars and tuners were challenged by the high elevations but that made for some exciting racing. There was a good turnout of spectators both days to take…

With much anticipation Furious 7 is hitting theaters the week of April 1st, 2015. The CarShowz Crew had an opportunity to attend an advanced screening of the movie compliments of Universal Pictures and Allied; we thank you very much for the opportunity and allowing us to be apart of such an iconic movie within the automotive industry. With the tragedy that struck on November 30th, 2013, Paul Walker fans and everyone around the automotive industry were devastated to hear about Walker’s accident and him passing away. Universal Pictures had halted the filming of Furious 7 to allow for the cast…

Motorama 2015 is an annual indoor show with something for everyone when it comes to automotive events, covering all genres. The event was from February 20-23 and had everything from show cars to motorcycle and RC car racing. The vast size of the show was something that needs to be seen to understand. There were two separate large halls, one for show cars and vendors and arenas that had various racing events and even robot fighting. The weather was very cold and the snow was falling fast on Saturday when I was there, but that did not stop the thousands of fans…

The 2015 Philadelphia Auto Show kicked off with a media-only event on January 30th. This allowed members of the media early access with little to no crowds. I was in attendance to see what the show had to offer. The 2015 Philadelphia Auto Show is open to the public from January 31st through February 8th and is host to the newest creations from major automotive manufacturers. There were plenty of new or redesigned models on hand from most of the major automotive manufacturers. Everything from fully electric vehicles to exotics were on display showing off their newest tech innovations. Whether…
