Car shows can be intimidating for entrants.

Groups of judges circle cars, chronicling what is right and wrong with each entry.

That fact alone can turn off many young car owners to the show scene.

But Better Opportunities for Single Servicemembers (BOSS) officials want to tear down those walls and take away the intimation factor.

BOSS hosts its inaugural Domestic vs. Import Car Show on Sunday, June 12, at Cowan Stadium. Registration is open from 8 to 11 a.m., and the show runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Cost is $10 to enter.

The whole purpose of the show is to get young car owners comfortable with the show scene in a relaxed and fun atmosphere, said Spc. Monique Miranda, BOSS president and the show's main organizer.

Members of the local Rod Knockers Car Club out of Eatonville will be on hand to talk shop and give Servicemembers advice on their cars and how to get them ready to enter in future shows.

"They'll be there to help give guys a taste and feel for what car shows are like if they've never entered one before," Miranda said.

A couple of club members will also be judging entries.

Awards will be handed out in the following categories: Best of Show (People's Vote); Best Import; Best Domestic; Best of Show (Motorcycle, People's Vote); Best Motorcycle (Domestic); Best Paint; Best Sound System; Best Engine Bay; Best Sport Truck; Best 4x4 Truck and Best Bling.

The best Import winner will square off with the best Domestic winner to determine the Best of Show winner by the People's Vote.

"It's just an opportunity for Servicemembers to come out, enjoy the car culture and have a good time with it," Miranda said.
