LS Fest West 2021: Winners and Results!
Tire shredding mayhem throughout the weekend led to a host of Corvette victories across a variety of events.

We will be presenting a quick recap of some of the winners from this year’s festivities. Thanks to the legendary Larry Chen for some stunning photography from the show.
