The XS Power show continues to grow more and more diverse each year, encompassing several forms of automotive entertainment and competition. From audio demos and audio competition, drag racing, drifting with East10Drift and Team Shriek, and our first street car shootout, our show had tons of opportunities for repeat attendees and new attendees to participate and enjoy.
We had the Sweet Stunts motorcycle team put on a show this year, and them along drew quite the crowd as something for people to watch. At our gates we did a survey of how many people have attended events prior, and was shocked at how many people let us know it was their first time at our show.
To give a little insight into a couple of the vendors and entertainment this year, we had Jacob and Carrie Hall of Sweet Stunts bring their motorcycle stunt team. They have been performing at different venues for years, and it was a very nice touch to help diversify our show and provide just a little more entertainment for spectators. Andrew Stanley with Rice Buick-GMC brought several Hummer EV's and a very nice custom GMC Sierra 1500 to display. Andrew personally uses our products and was shocked to learn about how diverse our offerings really were. Wicked Performance brought several 2024/2025 Mustangs with our products on display under the hood and have recommended our products on any high-performance applications with the builds they produce. Scott Allinder, owner of Grip Royal and captain of Team Shiek brought his drift team out to give ride alongs, and it went as smooth as possible. Scott's team has been using XS Power for a while now and they truly put our products to the test in the professional drift setting. With Scott owning Grip Royal, he also was able to provide prizes for some of the participant activities this year through custom-made steering wheels. Since they are actual steering wheels, we imagine some of the winners will use them, and some may keep them as trophies.
The Showtime Demo Section was filled with tons of extremely loud demo vehicles and provided a place for music to blast all day long! Overkill Customs TN brought a SWAT Van along with a Buick Roadmaster that were both show-stoppers. The SWAT van utilized nine of our xMAX90-DIY's on a wall full of Kicker Warhorses- this build was insane. The Roadmaster uses several of our xMAX45's- which is also a Kicker/Sundown build. The Roadmaster actually won our first ever car show, which had several participants this year. As far as audio organizations that were present, we had quite the selection for audio competitors to pick from. We had NSPL, Basswars, Midwest SPL, TN Bass Outlaws, DB Drag, USACI and IASCA. There was no shortage in audio competition this year.
Last but not least, we want to thank Knoxville Dragway for the venue, providing concessions and allowing us to make as much noise as we want! We couldn't have done it without you guys!
If you were able to make out, we thank you for attending and hope you enjoyed your time at Knoxville Dragway! As our show continues to grow and expand, we'd love to hear ideas from you guys on things we should add for the XS Power Show 2026!
