Stancewars Seattle – our home

StanceWars exists because we want to showcase #NorthWest car culture. We invite you to a unique vibe, and to experience some extraordinary automobiles – it doesn’t matter if they’re stance builds, ultimate racing machines, stylish drift cars, resto-mods, widebody EuroKids, exotics, or overlanders.

It Started in Seattle – In 2010 Mike started “StanceWars” after working with StanceWorks on an event for Seattle called “Tailored” which was to be held the night before WaterWerks in Tacoma. One thing Mike learned quickly is that no one was going to do it better unless it was to be done by locals here in Seattle. So before “Tailored” happened StanceWars was born. We didn’t need a huge following and a fancy name, just awesome people and a location.

StanceWars is the only opportunity to admire personalized cars from all over America & Canada. Enjoy the vibe, and feel the bond with the street culture. An uncompromised focus on quality allowed us to create one of the most prestigious automotive events in the world. We are pleased that leading brands recognize our consistency in action. Without such significant support, we wouldn’t grow dynamically.

StanceWars is a unique automotive event, gathering hundreds of carefully selected cars from all over America. Some call us the ” American Version of Tokyo Drift” Through over a decade of brand existence, StanceWars has introduced a new standard to the automotive world in selection. Only 100 of the finest builds will have a chance to find the spot among thousands of enthusiasts’ cars parked below. At this point, it is worth checking the coverage from previous years. The show’s formula is relatively uncomplicated and based on simple aesthetic forms inspired by art and street culture.

Sunday we’ll host an exclusive event celebrating RIGHT Hand Drive vehicles calledRHDFest! This will follow the same layout and idea as StanceWars but fall on Sunday.

Sunday is the 3rd RHDFest – America’s ONLY Right-Hand Drive event TICKETS FOR SUNDAY

#RHDFEST and StanceWars team up to give you an automotive dream weekend. Sunday we’ll display RHD vehicles in StanceWar’s traditional layout. 

10 years later and Stance Wars is still going strong. This film captures their 10th-year anniversary show and gives you all a little back story on how it all got started, what it means, and what it stands for. The sights of the PNW are unmatched and it always amazes me how no matter how many times I’ve been there I can still find new cool filming locations. I hope you enjoy the features throughout this piece and the show recap content to pull it all together. Think you have what it takes to get into the TOP 100? Maybe I’ll see you on the top floor one year 😉

The Start

When StanceWars started in 2010 for the first show the idea was simple. Put the JDM guys vs. the Euro guys to see who would have the better “stance”. But along the way we realized that was the wrong way to go , but it would be better to bring the community together would be the future. About 90 cars were in the #Top100 many were folks helping out and several of Mike’s personal cars. There was go-carts on the 3rd floor and Miss StanceWars Competition. We sold about 800 tickets that year.
