We’re excited to officially open pre-registration for this year’s show, running April 4th through July 18th (online and by mail). As the event continues to grow, we’ve made some important updates to our registration process to create a smoother, more organized experience for everyone involved.
Pre-registering is the easiest way to save time, save money, and get the most out of your experience at the American Gasser’s Tri-City Dragway Car Show.
Pre-registration benefits:
• Enter the event one hour before the public/non-registered cars
• Smooth, no-stop entry for faster parking
• Save $5 on registration
• Receive a commemorative dash plaque
• Avoid day-of processing fees
• Simple and quick registration process
• Pre-purchase merchandise (limited—once it’s gone, it’s gone)
This year, we are introducing a new registration system designed to reduce confusion, improve communication, and significantly streamline entry into the event. Our goal is simple: to have faster traffic flow, shorter wait times, and a more efficient arrival process for all participants.
Once pre-registration closes, all participants will receive a confirmation packet either by mail or in-person pickup (based on your selection). These packets will include:
• A window cling for quick, seamless entry
• Vouchers for any pre-purchased merchandise
• Entry instructions, a property map, and full event schedule
What’s different this year?
You’ll notice that registration pricing has increased by $5:
• $20 Pre-Registration
• $25 Day-of Registration
Although nobody likes price increases, this change allows us to invest in tools and improvements that directly benefit participants. We are now using a new registration software system, which helps eliminate confusion and ensures more accurate and reliable communication between our organization and participants. This system does come with costs (including processing and organizational fees), but it allows us to provide a much more streamlined experience.
Additionally, we are now mailing out registration packets ahead of the event, something we were not able to do in the past. This ensures everyone has the proper materials, clear instructions, and everything needed before arriving, rather than figuring it out at the gate.
All credit card processing fees are included in the registration price, so there are no unexpected charges during checkout.
These updates are all part of our continued effort to take things step-by-step and improving organization, communication, and overall experience as the show continues to grow each year.
If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment below, message our page, or send an email to [email protected]! We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing everyone at this year’s show!
