ShowThrottle gives car clubs a complete toolkit to organize events, manage vehicle registrations, collect entry fees, and get every show on the map — in one place.
Showing a car, or here to vote? You don't need to sign up here. The club running your show will give you a registration link, and voting opens by QR code at the show itself.
Sign up your club, create your profile, and set up your first show with custom classes, entry fees, and venue details. Takes about ten minutes.
Share your show's registration link. Entrants fill in their vehicle info, select a class, and pay the entry fee — all from their phone or desktop.
Each car gets a QR placard at check-in. Attendees scan, register once, and vote Best in Class and People's Choice from their phone as they walk the show.
Close the ballot whenever you're ready. Winners surface instantly, by class and overall, ready to read out at the awards ceremony.
Every show gets its own branded registration page. Presenters register their vehicles and pay in under two minutes.
Every car gets a QR placard. Every attendee votes from their phone. One verified account, one vote per category — no ballot boxes, no club politics.
Accept credit and debit cards directly through your registration page. Funds are deposited on a rolling basis — no waiting until after the show.
Define unlimited competition classes and let the system route each entrant into the right bucket, with judges-only classes when you need them.
Check in presenters on show day with a tap. See real-time attendance against registration counts, and print check-in sheets and placards anytime.
Sponsors apply online and pay by card. Approve who appears, set your tiers, and their logos land on show pages and printed placards automatically.
Every show gets a clean, shareable URL. Drop it in Facebook groups, Instagram bios, or your club's website — no login required for registrants.
The presenter registration flow is built for phones first. Most people register from a parking lot announcement — we make that smooth.
Run a series? Manage every show in your season from one club account, with each show's registrations, classes, and results kept separate.
Every car gets a QR code. Every attendee gets a voice. No ballot boxes, no club politics — just the crowd deciding who takes the trophy.
When a presenter checks in on show day, ShowThrottle generates a unique QR code card for their vehicle — number, year, make, model, and class. Print it or display it digitally at the windshield.
Auto-generated at check-inAnyone who scans a car's QR code lands on the ShowThrottle voting app. First-time voters create a free account — username, email, and phone number. That account works across every show on the platform.
One account, all showsVoters can cast one Best in Class vote per competition class, and one overall People's Choice vote. The system ties votes to their verified account — scanning the same car ten times doesn't change a thing.
Ballot stuffing preventedThe show organizer watches votes roll in live. Close the ballot whenever you're ready — ShowThrottle instantly surfaces the winners by class and overall, ready for the awards ceremony.
Real-time tallyVoting requires a free account, so the club ends up with a record of who attended — not just the people who showed a car. Voters are told up front that the hosting club may contact them about future events.
Know who turned upYour contact info may be used by the hosting club to notify you of future events. You can unsubscribe anytime.
Votes are tied to a verified email + phone account. Scanning the same QR code on 10 phones doesn't cast 10 votes — it just shows the car page.
People showing cars are voters like everyone else. Scan your own QR code, cast your vote. Every vote counts equally — the crowd decides.
The organizer sees a live leaderboard as votes come in. Every vote is recorded against an account — no manual tallying, no disputes, no awkward recounts.
Creating a club account is free. You pay once per show you publish, with no subscription. Entry fee payment processing is 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction, your choice to pass through to presenters or absorb.
Replace the Google Form, the PayPal requests, and the paper ballots with one platform built for the car show world.
Not a club? Registering a car or voting happens through the show you're attending, not from here.
