Car Entry Registration
The Tailgate Ranch is at the corner of FM 203 and Hwy 144 in Walnut Springs (very important to note, since some gps programs can’t find our address @ 157 FM 203, Walnut Springs, TX 76690).
Please fill out the registration form and forward it to me at Julia@tailgateranchtx.com, or you can register on the day of the show. Vehicle registration gets you 2 free gate entries and 1 t-shirt per vehicle while supplies last. 100% of the net profits from this show will be donated to Wheels for Wellness Cancer Charity organization, a 501c3 that supports the research, awareness and treatment for cancer, especially in adolescents and teens.
We’d like all vehicles in place no later than 8:30 am, as gates will open at 9:00, and the show starts at 10 (the Boy Scouts of America will be posting the colors and the national anthem will be sung at 10:30). Anyone that arrives after 9:30 AM may not be eligible for entry, due to safety issues. The show technically ends at 4:00, but we will get the judging done and winners announced as soon as the judges are ready, so it may be closer to 2:30-3:00. At that time you may move your vehicle out (or stay for more festivities, bands, or overnight camping for $5/person!).
12 car categories with custom trophies including Street Rod, Rat Rod, Classic, Motorcycle, Truck, Lowrider, Import, Muscle, Antique Tractor, (either Corvette or VW – this class is pending), People’s Choice, and Best of Show!
A Swap Meet (no official charge – just donate a little something to Wheels for Wellness based on your sales from the day!), a Car bash, and a kiddie tractor pedal pull

Wheels for Wellness will receive 100% of the net profits from the car show, so let’s do this thing right! Cancer has impacted several loved ones in our lives, so this cause is close to our heart and we’d love to champion this event in honor of those we’ve lost to this terrible disease.

They host events throughout the year including the annual Downtown Fort Worth car show to raise money for various causes including Cancer Awareness, Cancer Prevention, Cancer Treatment, and Cancer Research.
