How to run a truck and Jeep show

Truck and Jeep shows are their own world, and software built for classic cars rarely fits. You need truck show registration that fits lifted rigs, daily drivers, and trail builds, and Jeep show voting the crowd trusts. You get both when you run a truck and Jeep show on Car Show HQ. Name the categories that fit your scene instead of forcing everything into someone else's boxes, take entries online or at the gate, and print a windshield card for every rig. The crowd votes from their phones by scanning a QR right at the show, and when voting closes the winners are counted for you. You hand out awards that mean something to the people who wrenched all winter to be there.

Start your show
The old way

Generic categories do not fit a lifted rig

Most show setups were built with sedans and street rods in mind. Try to run a truck and Jeep show through one and you end up cramming a 40-inch trail build and a clean daily driver into the same class, which produces awards nobody in the paddock respects.

Pile the usual paper sign-ups and hand-counted ballots on top of that, and a great turnout turns into a long day at a folding table while the rigs you came to see sit out in the lot without you.

The tools that matter most here

For a truck and Jeep show, it comes down to categories that fit the builds, easy registration, and a count that is quick.

How to run a truck and Jeep show in five steps

1

Set categories that fit the builds

Name your own classes, lifted, daily, trail, show, whatever your crowd runs, so the awards mean something to the builders.

2

Connect your payment account

Link your own payment account so entry money lands with you. Car Show HQ is never the merchant of record and never holds your funds.

3

Open registration online

Share the sign-up link and take truck and Jeep show registration early from any phone, then handle walk-up rigs at the gate on show day.

4

Print windshield cards and open voting

Print a plain card with a voting QR for each rig, and let the crowd handle Jeep show voting by scanning and voting right at the show.

5

Hand out the awards

When voting closes the winners are ready, counted by class, so you call them out and get back to the builds.

Truck and Jeep show questions, answered

How does truck show registration work?

You can take truck show registration online ahead of time and at the gate on show day. Entrants sign up from any phone, choose the class that fits their build, and pay into your own payment account. Walk-up rigs get added at the gate on the same list, so nothing falls through the cracks.

How does Jeep show voting stay fair?

Jeep show voting on Car Show HQ is on site only. Each rig gets a windshield card with a QR code, and spectators scan it to cast one vote from their own phone, with duplicate protection. Votes are locked once cast, so the count holds up.

Can I make my own truck and Jeep categories?

Yes. You name your own classes for daily drivers, lifted trail builds, and show queens, so a 40-inch rig and a clean daily are never judged in the same box. Each class tallies on its own when voting closes.

Where does the entry money go?

Into your own payment account. Car Show HQ is never the merchant of record and never holds your funds, so entry fees land with you and refunds are handled by your payment provider.
