September 28 – October 1, 2023

Register Today!

For those who wish to participate with their vehicle, we have several packages available: Grand Champion Pack grants you access to the autocross, 3S Challenge, Dyno challenge, Countryside Cruise, and the Grand Champion specific Drag Class. This class is limited to the first 125 registrants and includes gate passes for two people (driver plus one).

For those who do not want to participate in the Grand Champion competition, we also have a 3-day Autocross package. This allows you to run your vehicle in the autocross, dyno challenge, 3S Challenge, Countryside Cruise, and the appropriate Show-N-Shine class for your vehicle.

For our drag racing contingent Holley’s Ford Festival is going in conjunction with the NMRA World Finals, so there are plenty of classes to choose from! Please follow the link to find out more about class information. A drag race package allows a racer to participate in the Dyno Challenge, Friday Test-N-Tune, and Saturday and Sunday drag racing.

Not into putting your pride and joy through the ringer, we have multi-day and single-day car show packs available (car show awards are Saturday & Sunday). Each package includes one car & driver and allows you to participate in.  This package is great because in addition to allowing you to show your car, it also allows you to participate in the countryside cruise and the dyno challenge.

As a spectator, you can expect to be able to enjoy watching all of these events unfold over the course of the weekend while enjoying a large vendor midway to spec out parts for your current ride or project vehicle. We will also have a large selection of food vendors on-site to keep you going!

Tickets are available for purchase prior to the event online, or onsite.
