Built by
An Organizer & Attendee
20+ years on both sides of the rope — hosting shows, running meets, and showing up at every event in between. Built to fix what's broken with paper ballots: lost votes, illegible writing, the "did you double-check the math?" panic at the end of the day. Judges scan a code, the system tallies, and the awards sheet prints itself. No guesswork.
How It Works

Three Steps, Then You're Running

No demo calls. No onboarding specialists. No waiting on someone else to set up your show.

01
Buy a License

Pick a tier and pay the flat fee. That's the only money that comes to us. No payment-processor setup, no API keys, no "connect your bank" hoops.

02
Set Up Your Show

Choose your subdomain, configure judging classes and awards. Your show lives at yourshow.entrylane.app. The whole wizard takes five minutes.

03
Run Your Show

Add cars at the gate, print dash cards, run the voting / judging flow. Collect entry fees in cash, Venmo, your own card reader — whatever you already use. We stay out of your way.

What's Included

Everything. One Price.

Every tier includes the full feature set. You're not unlocking basics on the expensive plan.

Registration

A one-stop shop for taking entries and managing the show. Add cars at the gate, assign classes, hand out dash cards — every entry lives in one place, no spreadsheets to reconcile.

Judging System

QR-based scanning, judge accounts with restricted access, per-class scoring, score locking after the window closes.

Awards

Assign class winners, generate a formatted awards PDF, send personalized award emails to each winner with a badge.

Dash Card

Print-ready 8.5×11 dash card per registration — entry number, owner name, vehicle, class, and car club, plus a QR code judges scan to vote without typing the number in by hand.

Car Clubs

Clubs are ranked by overall participation and an aggregated score across their members' cars. See who turned out and who brought the heavy hitters at a glance.

Email & Surveys

Personalized blast email before, during, and after the show — merge tags for first name, car details, show info. Configurable post-show survey collects anonymous feedback with an averages panel and CSV export.

People's Choice

Fingerprinted, fraud-resistant public voting. Opens and closes on a schedule you control. Results hidden until you publish them.

Hardship Award

Attendees submit their story. You pick the winner. Award email, badge, and announcement handled automatically.

Distance Traveled

Auto-calculated from each registrant's address — surface the longest drive at the show without anyone pulling out a map. Drives the "Farthest Traveled" award and the heat-map of where your crowd came from.

Show Type

Pick Your Show Type.

Choose how your awards get decided. Pay once for the license. Collect entry fees however you already do — cash, Venmo, your own card reader. We never touch the money.

FAQ

Straight Answers

Where does registration money go?

Wherever you want it to. EntryLane is the management + judging tool — we never touch your money. Take cash at the gate, Venmo, your own Square reader, whatever. We just record the method on each entry for your bookkeeping.

Do my attendees pay a platform fee on top of entry?

No. You set the entry price. That's what they pay — nothing added by us. The license fee is paid by you upfront, not passed through to anyone.

What if my show fills up faster than expected?

Buy an extra car pack before you hit the limit — 10, 25, or 50 cars at a cheaper rate than overage. Or upgrade to the next tier. Either way the system handles it automatically.

What do I need to get started?

An email address and your show details. That's it — no payment processor, no API keys, no merchant account. The onboarding wizard takes about five minutes start to finish.

Can I use my own domain instead of entrylane.app?

Custom domain support is on the roadmap. For now your show runs on yourshow.entrylane.app. Most organizers find that sharing the link is more than enough — the page is fully branded to your show.

Who built this?

Someone who has been running car shows, not a software company that interviewed a few organizers and built what they guessed you needed. Every feature in this platform came from a real problem at a real show.
