2025 NH MUSCLE CARS EVENTS SEASON - IN PROCESS OF BEING ANNOUNCED
Interested in being a vendor at a show? Go here to learn more and to register.
In 2025 we will host 3 large car shows: Our Granite State Season Opener at Deerfield Fairgrounds, our Summer Sizzler at Star Speedway, and our Granite State Season Closer at Hopkinton Fairgrounds. Each show will feature several unique components and activities, in addition to providing a car show. All 3 shows will feature 35 trophies, "fair food" vendors, outdoor vendors, special exhibits and/or activities, and live music. All of our shows are family friendly, open to the public, and are "all vehicle" car shows. All three venues can accommodate a large spectator crowd and also contain large/flat grass fields to support show cars and the viewing of them.
You do not have to be a club member to attend our shows or show your car.
The cost to attend our 3 large car shows is:
$20 per show car, includes driver and passenger
$5 per passenger or spectator
Kids 12 and under FREE
In addition to our 3 car shows, we will have 6 "Member Gatherings, which you can find further below on this page, once announced.
Cost of entrance is collected right at the gates the day of the show for show cars and spectators.
We no longer provide on-line tickets nor pre-registration due to the transaction fees associated with taking on-line payments and the large number of ticket scams on social media. WE DO NOT SELL ONLINE EVENT TICKETS.
