Hello car show peeps, we are gearing up for another great year and who could forget it is the 100 year Anniversary of Rt 66. We still got things in the works but wanted to start off by sharing, starting this year and going forward we will be accepting Early Registration with a mailed in Registration form which is pictured below with payment. Because of the trolling scammers out there we will ONLY be accepting checks and money orders by mail. More information on that below. With this year expecting to be our biggest year yet we not only added more classes we are taking it a step farther and we are shutting down the square for everyone's safety and closing off some of the streets by the Courthouse with one point of entry and exit at West Main going towards the square. We are also zoning so tractors, motorcycles and all other registrations will be assigned to a section.
All registration proceeds are going to support our Carlinville American Legion Post #554.
