APPLICATION PROCESS:

There are four distinct applications for the 2025 Car Parts Warehouse I-X Piston Powered Auto-Rama show at the I-X Center. Prospective participants must submit an application which is available by clicking on the category below to download an application (online registration coming soon!):

Each application is then screened by the shows “Acceptance and Placement Committee”  for the North & South Hall and the Motorcycle Pavilion. The Slick Devils Car Club and the show management team screen all the vehicles in Hot Rod Asylum. The Northern Ohio Car Club Association and the show management team screen the Concourse vehicles.

These different committees screen and prioritize these spots based on various criteria including but not limited to the customization of each vehicle, the number of similar vehicles in the show, the timing of your entry and the number of years that your vehicle has been entered into the show.
