Are Turkey Run events held anywhere else but the Speedway?

No, there are no Turkey Run events held anywhere but the Daytona International Speedway. This is a large event and other promoters, hotels, bars, time share resorts, etc. may sponsor auto-themed festivities.

They may be called Turkey Trots, Turkeyfests, TurkeyCruises or whatever, they are not affiliated with us. The Turkey Run is not associated with ONE DAYTONA across the street from the Speedway.

Most of these folks want to give you another place to go in the evenings and spend a few bucks,

They are NOT part of the Turkey Run and cannot sell event tickets, registrations or souvenirs.

Can I put a For Sale sign on my vehicle in the Show Car field?

Sorry, No. If you really want to sell your car, you may take it to the Car Corral. There are serious buyers there!

Why do I need a special sticker to be in the Car Corral?

The Turkey Run Car Show is a separate venue from other events at the Turkey Run. You will need a separate registration sticker for the Car Corral, Swap Meet or Artisan Alley.

What is included with my Swap Meet or Car Corral space?

Single space packages include one (1) Vendor Pass Decal, admission tickets for 2 adults per space (for vendor to enter) and a Gate Decal that designates the gate you are to enter each day. One (1) Support Vehicle Pass is available for $10. Multiple space packages include one (1) Vendor Pass Decal for every two (2) spaces purchased, admission tickets for 2 adults per space (for vendor to enter) and a Gate Decal that designates the gate you are to enter each day.

May I stay the night?

Vendors with RV’s must get an overnight parking ID card from Registration BEFORE 4pm the day of arrival. RV’s can stay overnight the first day of set up through 10am Monday. Please do not run generators during “Quiet Time” from 11pm - 6am. No tent camping or sleeping in vehicle.

Why do I see so many people on mobility scooters that look like they don't need them?

THE LAW STATES THAT WE CANNOT ASK THE DISABILITY OF A PERSON OF ANY AGE THAT WANTS TO RENT A SCOOTER!

The ADA  (Americans with Disability act) prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in employment, transportation, public accommodation, communications, and governmental activities. There are free ADA shuttles at the spectator entrance gates that will take you to the scooter rental locations. Availability is not guaranteed so we recommend reserving in advance by calling 423-569-1933 or visiting www.scootertime.com

Are personal Golf Carts and Bicycles allowed inside the speedway.

No, Personal Golf Carts or bicycles, (including electric foldable bicycles) are not allowed in the show area. Single passenger mobility devices are allowed.

Car Show Entry Passes

All registered Car Show PARTICIPANTS are allowed to bring their car and contents into the Speedway infield.  Four passengers max per car please. Additional "walk in" passes are included with your registration package to allow participants to walk in and out of the speedway during the show.

Reserved Club Parking for the Car show

Reserved Club Parking means that your club has reserved a group of spaces in advance and has a reserved location with your club's name on it. This enables your club to park together in the infield. All other participants park in the infield on a "first come-first served" basis. If your club didn't pre-reserve a spot, don't worry! You will park in the same infield as everyone else.

As a Car Show participant, do I have to be there every day? Can I come and go as I please?

You have complete control over what you do at the Turkey Run. You can be there as many or as few days as you please. You can come and go as many times as you want, but you must exit during the day through the east tunnel. You can leave your car inside the Speedway overnight but you must remove it by Monday at noon. Vendors are required to participate each day of the event.

I planned to bring my Show Car but it's not ready, can I bring a different vehicle instead?

You can bring another vehicle that is a SHOW QUALITY CAR that conforms to the Show Car entry requirements. Personnel at the entry gates have total discretion on entry acceptance.

Support Vehicles & Trailers

Support vehicles are NOT allowed in the infield area. Trailered cars are not allowed to unload inside the “car show” section of the speedway. If your vehicle doesn't run you will have no way to get it inside the speedway unless you bring a bunch of strong friends. All vehicles must be removed from the speedway by noon the following Monday after the show.

If I purchase some heavy parts at the Swap Meet, how can I get them out of the speedway?
