2023 TriFive Nationals Countdown Countdown Timer

TriFive Nationals will be on August 10-12, 2023. I will update this page as more information becomes available.

Wheel Vehicle Automotive parking light Car Motor vehicle



EDIT: TriFive Tent location
We have worked with Woodys to secure a location for the tent ahead of time. We will be located at the pin shown on the map. It is across from the fence for the campground on the road that runs parallel. We will have the tent there plus a second tent with several power outlets to charge up phones and cameras.

Your car rarely shuts off long enough to park! :D You’re too busy down at the track screeching them tires and scaring little old ladies!

I made reservations for BG but I'm still undecided on which direction to go from here in the PNW. Thinking about heading south, then Route 66, or just go I-84/I-70.

What part of the PNW you coming from? When we did the trip in 2019 we started in Port Angeles, took I-5 to I-84 at Portland and eventually connected on day two to I-80. It took us a solid 4 1/2 days each way, but we're doing it against this August.

I'm in the Portland area. There are a few NW/NV/West Coasters that are going to meet up and take Route 66 to get to BG. I don't have any of the details, but I think they were talking about leaving a week before the Nationals started.

Is there a vendor list or at least an expected vendor list for the Nats?

It ranges from year to year, but the usuals are there. Anything in particular you want?

Not particular, but I'm just getting started so I have a long shopping list and most National shows I've been to the in the past have "show specials". Since work takes most waking hours during the spring/early summer, I figure I can't wait a few weeks if the deals are good.

Some things near the top: American Autowire, dual master cylinder to go w/ the MG Chevy front discs, a TKX if Silver State Trans is there and budget at the time allows, interior stuff (not even sure what direction I want to go yet), possibly CPP upper a-arms, not to mention all of the stuff I haven't thought about till I get ideas from all the other cars there.

Most of the big name manufacturers bring little to sell. But there are vendors of the big names that bring stuff. Woodys usually brings a ton of stuff, but get a hold of them first if you know you want something in particular that would be expensive to ship and they will bring it with them. Double Nickel out of Athens, GA does the same thing.

Sometimes you can order stuff before hand and they will bring it to the show . It saves you on shipping .

I cannot wait to get to my first Nationals. Wont be this year, but I absolutely love all the Tri-5 videos I see of it. Hopefully next year I'll be able to make the trip.

This year will be my first national show, I've been excited since they announced dates. I've wanted to attend for years as a spectator, but it always fell on the same weekend as the Mopar Nationals, so I'd go to those with my dad (he'd go to buy parts for his Challenger). This year I get to attend with a car, and I couldn't be more thrilled. Booked an awesome AirBNB with a garage for the car, and it's only about 15 minutes from the track. It'll be the longest trip I've taken in the '57. If anyone is odd like me heading down Wednesday afternoon and passing through the southern Indiana area, give me a shout!

Whew that's early! My reservation is for Wednesday, so I'm taking off after work on Wednesday, it'll be about 3 hours or so of careful driving, barring any issues. We'll be keeping an eye out for sure.
