Registration is currently open for the 2027 show, which is promising “BIG CHANGES” based on previous feedback.
Primary Changes for 2027:
- New Judging System: For the first time, cars will be broken down into specific classes for more accurate judging.
- External Judges: The club is bringing in judges from other car clubs (both VW and non-VW) to evaluate entrants.
- Awards Revamp: The “Best of Show” award is being restructured to truly represent the “best” in the show, while a new “People’s Choice” category has been added for participant voting.
- Friday Activities: Organizers are working to extend the event into Friday, March 19, 2027, with coastal activities and sponsor visits.
- More Swag Bags: The number of “loot” swag bags has been increased to 75 (up from 50) to accommodate more participants.
- T-Shirt Policy: There will no longer be free t-shirt giveaways for the first 50 registered. Shirts can now be purchased for $20 online with registration or $25 at the show.
