Northwoods Motor Mayhem - Car Criteria

Northwoods Motor Mayhem encourages all Gearheads and fans to show their special interest vehicles. No car class snobs here, if you think it is cool, we probably will too. Emphasis on the featured vehicles this year which are Rat Rods and Traditional Hot Rods.  Bring your Rat Rod to the only event in the great U.P. of Michigan that features them. 

These featured vehicles will be parked in and around the storefronts, and on the streets of the antique village at the fairgrounds. 

Featured parking in the antique village is for the full 2-day event. Rat Rods will be parked directly on the narrow streets with only emergency vehicle access. If you cannot commit your vehicle for the full 2-day event, do NOT request feature parking. 

Rat Rods in the featured parking area need to be pre-registered. This is due to the limited parking areas and placement among the old time shops and businesses. Pre-registration for all other participants is encouraged and preferred. 

Other vehicles, Vintage, Classics, Muscle Cars, Tuners, Vintage cycles etc., will be parked in general car show parking.  Car will enter through main gate and will be checked in in front of the Ruth Butler Building. After check in car will be escorted to designated parking area.

If you wish to park with friends, a group, or a car club, please arrive together. 

Car registration is free, only people pay admission. Pre-Registration is encouraged but not required.
