Which Texas car events pull the largest crowds?
The Goodguys Lone Star Nationals at Texas Motor Speedway, the Houston Autorama, the NHRA FallNationals in Ennis and Mustang Week Texas in Galveston.
Why does one Texas show get a page and another does not?
Pages go to annual and multi-day shows with organizer dates and to past shows with published winners; one-day local shows sit on the schedule.
What is the latest Texas date on file?
Oct 13 to 17, 2027, as announced.
Where are Texas winners posted?
On each show page and on the Texas results page.
Do show car spots sell out?
Indoor custom shows and invitational drag events fill early, so check the organizer page well ahead.
Can anyone attend?
Yes; each show page says whether it sells a daily ticket or is free to walk.
What is the way to submit a Texas show for a page?
Through the Texas submission form along with the event page.
Are these dates final?
They match the organizer page on the date shown; organizers can still change them, so check before driving.
Does the Texas list carry collector car auctions?
Yes, when dates are published; Mecum has held Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth auctions, listed under past shows.

Know a car show that is not listed?
Send it here with a link to the organizer’s event page, flyer or schedule. Weekly and monthly ones only need to go in once. If that page shows the name and the date (or the day of the week), it goes on this page right away. If not, we check it by hand within a week.
We keep what you send so we can check the event. Your email is never published.
