(1) Two Adults Per Show Car / One Motorcycle
Each registered show car includes admission for up to two adults (driver and one passenger). Children 12 and under do not count toward this limit.
If more than two adults arrive in a registered show vehicle, all additional adult passengers must have valid spectator admission to enter the event.
For everyone’s safety, we ask that each registered show car carry no more than two adults during the early morning load-in period before 9:00 AM, while vehicles are being directed and staged. This helps reduce pedestrian traffic and the risk of accidents or injuries in the show-car area.
(2) Plan to Stay All Day – Exit May Be as Late as 4:00 PM
JCCS® ends at approximately 3:00 PM, but all show cars and motorcycles should plan to remain until about 4:00 PM. For everyone’s safety, vehicles will be released by parking zone.
DO NOT start your engine until instructed by JCCS® staff or security. No exceptions.
