Love Hell Cats, Fox Bodys and late model Corvettes- just NOT at this show! I have asked in the past to keep the Nostalgic Flavor of the Event. Someone knowledgeable about Vintage cars will be at the front entrance gate. If your car doesn’t meet the nostalgic flavor of the event, you will be asked to park in the spectator area. THIS EVENT IS NOT A STEAK AND SHAKE THURSDAY NITE CRUISE-IN.

Sorry if we offend anyone with a newer car that you think is nostalgic.

The Flyer says Pre-1979, The Facebook says Pre-1979, and the Website says Pre-1979.

DO NOT CHALLENGE THE DRAGSTRIP RIOT PERSON GIVING YOU DIRECTIONS. They are all volunteers who are following what they are told to do!

I will personally hand you your money back if you think you’ve been WRONGED OR MISLED!
