We are still recovering from the record heat at Saturdays event. But on behalf of the entire Import Spring Showoff staff, we want to give a big THANK YOU to everyone who braved the heat and came out to support the event. We are truly humbled by your support

A 2026 event was very close to not happening after talks broke down with our old venue. But instead of giving up, we pushed through for our love of the Utah Automotive community and launched a rebrand with a new venue, technology, and image. At the end of the day this event is for you and our community.

Thank you to all the show participants for bringing your builds out to share with our community of enthusiasts new and old, you truly are the reason this hobby never dies. Continue passing that torch to spark that fire to the new generation. Thank you to our local community that comes together to share a common like and interest.

Thank you to our amazing sponsors. They truly are the backbone of our event, and we really could not make it happen without them. They had some fantastic booths and builds this year

Thank you to Salt City Drift for once again putting on a great drift event and doing ride a long's. Our event is not complete without the drifting being a part of it and we were so happy to find a venue that still allowed drifting to take place.

Thank you to ™, UWCM™, JDC, & Utah Friday meets for the collabs leading up to the ISS weekend and your passions to better the car community

Thank you to Utah State Fair for allowing us to bring the event to their venue. There were some bumps along the way. But we look forward to smoothing those out and hope to be able to return again now that we know what to expect.

Thank you to our volunteers who help the event check in process run as smooth and quickly as possible

Lastly, thank you to the ISS staff. The hard work, long days, and hours are what it takes to make this event happen. Much of what they do go unnoticed. They are there busting their butts to make this event the best it can be. I couldn't be more proud of each of them

We look forward to returning SPRING of 2027 for our milestone 15th year!
