Previous Participation Does Not Guarantee Acceptance
Previous Participation Does Not Guarantee Acceptance
Participation in previous JCCS events does not guarantee acceptance into the 2026 show.
All vehicles are reviewed individually each year based on the current registration criteria, vehicle condition, authenticity, presentation, event balance, and available space. A vehicle’s participation in a previous JCCS event does not automatically qualify it for CURRENT or future events.
To ensure fairness and consistency for all applicants, EVERY vehicle must be reviewed and evaluated through the official JCCS registration process EACH YEAR.
Trailer & Tow Vehicle Parking
Trailer and tow vehicle parking near the venue is not guaranteed and may be unavailable due to limited space.
Owners are responsible for arranging transportation and parking for their vehicles. JCCS® cannot guarantee trailer parking accommodations and will not issue refunds due to the lack of available trailer or tow vehicle parking space. Current status and information will be distributed as it becomes available.
Thank you for your cooperation.
