LS Fest East 2021 Hits Kentucky This Weekend!
Don’t miss out on the biggest East Coast event of the year guaranteed to be filled with some amazing racing, beautiful cars, and good vibes.
Believe it or not folks, we are officially reaching the end of summer after a hectic beginning to the year. Thankfully, we still have some reasons to celebrate as we begin to close out 2021 and one of those reasons begins today!
We are talking about this year’s edition of Holley LS Fest East, which will be gracing the stunning location of Beech Bend Raceway in Bowling Green, Kentucky. This festival of speed will be running from September 10th through the 12th and Sunday (the 12th) is always the biggest day.
Let’s explain a little bit about what will be going on this weekend. First, it’s important to understand the location of this event: one of the most unique venues anywhere in the U.S for an automotive show of this size.
Featuring an amusement park (with a waterpark) and campground in addition to the track and drag strip, there probably isn’t another track anywhere in the world quite like Beech Bend. Let’s just say we can guarantee there will be fun for the whole family.
An action-packed weekend with a little something for everybody
For those who came to party with their cars, you will be in for a treat. Those with LS-powered vehicles itching to burn some rubber or show off their style can participate in a variety of events across a multitude of disciplines.
This includes:
- Autocross
- 3S Challenge
- Drift Challenge
- Burnout Competition
- Drag Racing Classes
- Road Course Challenge
- Dyno Challenge
- LS Engine Bolt-On Challenge
- Show-N-Shine Competition
- Track X
- Countryside Cruise Digital Scavenger Hunt
- A large vendor midway and much more!
It doesn’t matter whether your LS-build is a speed demon or a beauty queen, there will be an event to participate in. The best part about it is that nearly every single one of these events offer a cash purse and/or prizes for top contestants.
For example, there are ten different competitions within the drag racing event, including the 1/8 mile No Time Shootout, which includes a mega $20k grand prize plus $3,000 for the runner up.
Winners of the Drift Challenge will come home with $1,500 in addition to prizes, some even including a brand new set of Fortune 500 coilovers. These are some serious prizes here folks!
Those who instead have beautiful builds ready for display, the Show-N-Shine Competition will put to test the quality of your offering against a large group of competitors, with a $500 cash purse plus prizes.
Thus, if you are local to the general area or have some free time this weekend, we would definitely make some time to check out an event as epic as this one.
Undoubtedly, it is the largest of its kind on the East Coast and only happens once a year. We guarantee you will not find any other event with this diversity of bad ass LS-builds all in the same unique location.
So whether you are there to just grab some food and check out some sweet V8s or run your track car as hard as possible in an event, LS Fest East always turns out to be an amazing show.
Hopefully we can get some stiff competition across the events and some good times throughout the weekend. We hope you guys enjoy and we hope to see you there.
