Special events include a 24-point car inspection; Mustang chassis dynamometer demonstrations; a motorcycle awareness program; and, as part of the “Are You Truck Smart” program, an opportunity to “test drive” a truck-driving simulator. Special features include the Horse Power Hall of Fame, Dan Webb’s Golden Submarine, Eugene Pringle’s Harley-Davidson “Liberty” bike display, a 1941 Chevy with WWII ration stickers still attached, and Dale’s Auto Antique Panel Van.

The following vendors are currently scheduled to participate: Strong Arm Customs, Hogs in Ministry, Christian Motorcycle Association, American Bikers Aiming Toward Education, Daytona Beach Sunglasses, Trikes of Oxford, Leather Works, Marge’s Custom Sewing, Weaver Clothing, Light it Up LED, Thunder on the Grand, Bikes and Bands, Bikes on the Bricks, T-Rods Custom Car Care, Genesee Area Skill Center, All Around Sounds, Auto Zone Hobbies, FND Clothing, Total Mayhem, Dort Federal Credit Union, DVA Ambulance, Gotcha Covered, Classic Gas Pumps, and Purses by Jen.

Whitmer says that although there is no pre-registration, all car and motorcycle entries will be accepted from 9 a.m. until noon on May 23.

“Whoever shows up by noon will be allowed to register,” said Whitmer. “In addition, there is no registration fee, plus we’re providing free food to the first 100 entrants, awards to the top 10 motorcycles and top 25 automobiles, as well as a best of show award and eight other special prizes.”
