You do not need a car to belong here
Gates open at nine and close at three, and everything between is yours.
Spectator admission is complimentary. Rows you can walk slowly, engines you hear before you see, and a field wide enough that nobody is standing in your photograph.
Bring the children. Bring your mother. Bring whoever you have been meaning to take somewhere.
Turn in off Highway 41-A and the marshals will wave you down the ranch road to the pasture. Tell us you are coming so we know how much shade to put up.
Tell us you are coming
Three hundred places, chosen one at a time
Send us yours and you will hear back either way.
Waiting in silence is its own answer, and we would rather give you a real one.
VIP turns a day on the ranch into a curated experience
Twenty seats in two rooms. Both are hosted. One goes further out.
Every VIP seat comes with the hospitality: a shaded tent with the air kept moving, table service, and a meal from the Angus that graze this same pasture. A shirt and a hat you keep. The corral and the petting zoo for whoever you brought. Shaded photo areas and a step and repeat built for stills, video and live feeds.
The difference between the two is how far in you get.
- Shaded tent, table service, air kept moving
- A bottle of whiskey, a bottle of wine, or dinner at Southall or Sinatra, arranged before you arrive
- A meal from the ranch's own Angus
- Commemorative shirt and hat
- Corral, petting zoo, and the photo areas
- The quiet ride out by golf cart or hay ride
- A place the crowd never finds, for the pictures
- Time with Oscar, away from the noise
- A concierge from the ranch who stays with you
- Hay rides behind a horse, hay straws in the cocktails
Plan your visit
Saturday, October 10, 2026. Gates at nine, field clear by three.
The Piston Powered Ranch is an October car show in Tennessee, held at Rancho Jaramillo in Unionville, Bedford County, about an hour south of Nashville. Turn in off Highway 41-A and the marshals will point you down the ranch road.
Spectator parking sits on the pasture south of the show field. Bring a hat, bring a chair if you like one, and bring cash for the vendors who prefer it.
Stand beside it, not only in the crowd
Vendor row, sponsorship, and blocks held for car clubs arriving together.
Tell us what you sell or who you are bringing, and we will tell you where you fit on the field.
Four hundred and eight acres. Twelve of them opened.
Four hundred and eight acres of working ranch in Unionville, Tennessee, and twelve of them opened for one Saturday. Not a venue dressed as a ranch. Cars turn in off Highway 41-A and follow the ranch road out to the pasture, and for one day the cattle have company.
A share of every net dollar goes to Community Elementary School
The school is down the road from the gate. A good day is better shared, so we open the field, look after the community that makes it possible, and come back and do it again.
