Beech Bend Raceway Park

Bowling Green, KY

Holley LS Fest is a celebration of everything and anything powered by the incredible GM LS engine!

I can smell the high octane fuel and tire smoke already. If you're a bowtie wearing, Ford beating, Dodge smoking gear head then I highly recommend you experience the awesomeness that is LS Fest. I have gone every year, and never leave disappointed. It's chalked full of fun events, vendors, food, and did I mention all the LS engine powered vehicles you can handle. Plenty of fast, shiny, and unique cars to say the least.

For those who are wondering what an "LS" is, it's referring to a series of engines GM produced. Hands down one of the best engines they ever made. Good ole reliable pushrod engine technology that can make big power. They are readily available, and can be picked up fairly cheap at local junk yard. They came in cars, trucks, suv's, and vans. With just a few simple bolt ons, these engines can make big power. For more information click Here

I will be in attendance with Bertha, my 2012 ZL1 Camaro. I will be participating in the Grand Champion class as well as reporting for The Auto Channel. If you see me, feel free to stop by. But if you can't make it just check in later and ill inform you on what all you missed.
