Save time and money by preregistering your vehicle for the Tri-City Dragway Car Show! The first 400 registered show cars will receive a free dash plaque and all preregistered individuals will enjoy a $5 discount on their registration fee.
To streamline the process and avoid confusion from past years, we are now using a secure third-party ticketing website to handle all preregistrations. Once you submit your information and payment through the ticketing system, you will immediately receive a confirmation email directly from the website. This confirmation/ticket serves as proof of your preregistration. This confirmation will need to be scanned by our event staff on the day of the show to gain entry to the event.
If you have questions about your confirmation or haven't received it, please contact the ticketing company!
Pre-registration will open on April 1st, 2026 using the link below and close July 31st at 11:59pm. After preregistration closes, only day of registration will be available at the event.
