Ever wanted to have your project car featured front and center at the world’s largest aftermarket automotive convention?! Well, here’s your chance. For the third year in a row, Pit+Paddock is teaming up with ENEOS Oil to host the “SEMA Show Car Contest”!

HISTORY OF WINNERS

Since we started the contest in 2022, we’ve had quite a spectrum of vehicles awarded. Our inaugural winner was Alex Alfaro, whose DC2 Acura Integra represented the epitome of how Honda should be built, with a slew of rare JDM parts including a JUN B18C engine. The following year, Ashley Robinson’s imagination baffled the crowds as his all-wheel-drive Nissan 350Z boasted one of the most ridiculous dual-engine setups humanity has ever seen. Both builds served the contest well and demonstrated what is enjoyable about today’s modified car culture; however, now it’s the search to see who the 2024 winner will be!

HOW TO WIN

The SEMA Show Car Contest wouldn’t have been so successful without our beloved host and ambassador, Dai Yoshihara. Dai will be returning as this year’s MC, as well as one of the main judges to decide which vehicle will win a trip to Las Vegas. On July 10^th, Dai posted the official announcement of the start of the contest, which means it’s time to act now! Online submissions will be accepted until August 30^th, and here’s how to enter:

1. On Instagram, create a new Reel or Photo Carousel of your car, with your top 5 mods in the caption.
2. Follow and tag @pitandpaddock @eneosusa.
3. Include the official hashtag #showcarcontest24.

The official rules can be found on eneos.us. We look forward to seeing your ride, and who knows…maybe we’ll see you in Vegas! Good luck!
