Good morning everyone! ☀️

We are less than 48 hours away from the 15th Annual State Center Car Show! The weather looks absolutely fantastic for Saturday, and we are looking forward to a great turnout of cars, trucks, and motorcycles.

We have an incredible lineup of prizes ready for this year's participants! Here is what you need to know for Saturday morning:

⏰ Show & Lineup Starts: 8:00 AM (Voting does not start until 12:30 PM)

📍 Registration Location: The Quick Performance trailer will be set up on the corner of 1st Ave S and 2nd St SW (right across the street from Las Casa Maya Restaurant).

📝 Important Reminder: Everyone needs to stop by the trailer to check in, even if you pre-registered!

🔥 THE BURNOUT PIT:
Get ready to smoke 'em if you got 'em! The highly anticipated Burnout Pit action will follow the conclusion of the main show. Stick around to catch the high-horsepower fun (or to show everyone what your ride can do)! Waivers will be available at the registration trailer.

Thank you all for your incredible support. Polish up those rides, and we will see you very soon!
