VENDING
I would like to be a new-parts/services vendor (not swap-meet).
Please contact Cory Sterling directly.
I would like to bring used parts for the swap-meet. Is there a swap-meet this year?
No. There is no room for a swap meet at this year’s venue. Please allow us to assess the space we have, so we can decide if we can have a swap area for 2026.
May we request that another vendor be next to us?
We will not leave an empty space next to you so you can wait for another vendor to arrive. We do not put a hold on nor assign spaces ahead of time. Coordinate ahead of time and show up together.
How many vendor cars are permitted per booth?
We will be limiting vendor booth cars to a maximum of 2.
Can vendor booth cars be judged?
Yes. By being at the show, your car is automatically entered to be judged. No paperwork required.
SHOWING OFF & STARING AT VAG
When do the gates open for show cars and spectators?
7:30 am. Click here for more info.
How will I get in?
Click here for more info. You will first drive far down the driveway before being redirected.
I already registered online to show or spectate. Do I have to go somewhere special first?
Go with the flow and pull up to the gate crew. If you paid online, you must have either print outs or evidence of your PayPal receipt(s).
You are now instantly registered for the show. There’s no paperwork to be filled out like in years past.
May I move my car to another spot during the show?
Do not move your car. If we can’t find you, we reserve the right to not bothering to judge your car.
I have a show car and have to leave. Can I come back to park in the show field?
We will not allow show cars to leave and return back into the main show field in the middle of Saturday’s judging.
Have someone who is not showing a car be the one to run and get the stuff you need during the day.
If you leave with your car after 12pm and want to re-enter, you will end up being directed to park with the spectators.
May I save spots nearby for friends and their show cars?
No. We have to keep the entry flow moving, so no space saving will be permitted. Do not argue with the parking staff over saving spaces.
What if I’m not showing a car on Saturday?
You’ll be directed to park in spectator parking.
What if I’m parking my car as a guest at a vendor booth?
Please contact Cory Sterling directly.
Can vendor booth cars be judged?
Go for it! Just by being here at the show you are entered to be judged automatically. No paperwork needed.
What does it cost to show a car if I just show up Saturday?
Click here.
Ahh take care of mahh kids.
If you bring them, and they’re 12 and under, they get in FREE!
VEHICLES
What are the show classes?

Porsche, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and other Euro cars will have their own classes. 🏆Top 10 all-other Euro
SOUVENIRS, NOVELTIES, PARTY TRICKS
My old shirts have pit-stains. What fer shirts are there?
Come to the show to get a limited annual edition shirt. We do not ship.
Auctions? I have a wad of cash, and I want cool stuff.
Unfortunately we are not holding our auction this year.
YEAH, AND…
Will there be food?
Yep, on location is a pub! There will be food trucks on-site around the back of the DBR building.
May I bring my dog(s)?
Absolutely. Clean up their poo, fool.
I like s’mores and/or weenies a lot. How about a grill during the show?
No. Fire pits and grills are not allowed on the Double Barrel Roadhouse property.
I usually let my teachers and parents clean up my messes.
Clean up after yourself for once in your sorry life. Do not leave trash, broken chairs, or car parts in the grass. Take a few steps to the nearest trash can.
Much like the rest of my friends, I like to drink. Can I bring alcohol?
Understand that if you are ratted out or we find out on our own that you are under 21 and even try to drink or buy a drink at our show, we will make your life miserable. You must have a valid ID.
Will I be asked to leave if I have a concealed or non-concealed weapon or firearm on me?
Yes. Private show, so it’s our policy to forbid weapons and firearms.
What else can’t I bring or do?
No throwing rocks onto lanes of travel. No getting in peoples’ way playing ‘Pokemon Go’. No burnouts. No drifting. No drugs. No nudity. No bad attitudes. No walking around peddling parts with a cardboard sign.
I am, like, so ready to like, party, and because of my unstructured life I do what I want, yo.
Understand that if you are ratted out or we find out on our own that you are under 21 and even try to drink or buy a drink at our show, we will make your life miserable. You must have a valid ID. No drugs either.
I couldn’t sleep, so I found out while browsing Wikipedia, that the day of VAG Fair, August 9 , is fairly historically significant.
Correct, and it’s also right around promoter Cory Sterling’s birthday! Celebrate with us! Non-alcoholic seltzers make an ideal gift.
CAMPING
May we camp out?
No. Camping is not allowed on the Double Barrel Roadhouse property.
HOTELS
I’m looking to party at a hotel, since it’s not *my* house.
The VAG Fair does not support or encourage any disrespectful, disruptive, destructive behaviors of hotel guests nor visitors to any hotel property. Why do we even have to say this to you? We do support our local police.
Where are the hotels around the VAG Fair?
