Rat Rod
Rat Rods are the rebels of the road—gritty, raw, and full of personality. These rides are purpose-built with a strong theme or story in mind, often sporting a patina finish, exposed components, and a deliberate unfinished look. Every Rat Rod is a rolling piece of art with attitude to spare.
RAT ROD
Hot Rod
Hot Rods are all about raw power, bold style, and classic attitude. Built from vehicles originally made between the 1920s and 1950s, these machines are heavily modified for speed, handling, and eye-catching flair. From wild custom builds to timeless icons like the ’32 Ford Roadster, Hot Rods are the heartbeat of old-school performance and creativity.
HOT ROD
Classic
The Classic category covers a wide range of timeless vehicles from across the decades. Whether it's a 1930s Ford Model A or an early ’80s Cadillac DeVille, these cars bring history, character, and vintage style to the spotlight. If it was built before 2000 and turns heads, it belongs here.
CLASSIC
Muscle
Muscle cars are loud, proud, and built to burn rubber. These high-powered legends—think GTOs, Mustangs, and Chargers—typically hail from 1964 onward and feature big engines, aggressive looks, and that unmistakable rumble. If it’s built to go fast and sound even faster, it’s muscle.
MUSCLE
Sport/Tuner
Sport/Tuner rides are all about style, speed, and individuality. Often imports or modern models, these cars are modified for performance, handling, and a killer summer street presence. From turbocharged power to wide-body kits and booming exhausts, these machines are built to be seen and heard.
SPORT/TUNER
Truck
From slammed street trucks to towering off-road beasts, this category includes everything with a bed and attitude. Whether it's a pristine showpiece, a rugged classic from the early 1900s, or a modern lifted monster, all trucks—2WD or 4WD, stock or custom—are welcome here.
