Big News: Holley LS Fest WEST 2017 Is This Weekend And We Have The Latest Info On The Event HERE

We’ve been beating the drum for Holley LS Fest West 2017 and beating it hard because this is one of the biggest events for hot rodders this year. There will be everything from autocross to drag racing to desert trucks, open track time, and a whole lot more. There will likely be thousands of LS powered cars and trucks on display in the car show as well.

Combine all the great action at the track with all the fun you’ll have hanging out in Las Vegas and you have the recipe and elements for one amazing weekend. May 5-7 are the dates for this deal and since it is the first one ever, you REALLY don’t want to miss it.

Below we have the latest news and information from Holley that lays out the event, what you are going to see and how to have the most fun!

Dirt Tour Desert Launch, presented by Dirt Alliance:
We’ve just added a unique event to the schedule that is sure to impress! Dirt Alliance Dirt Tour is bringing their long travel pre-runner style trucks to LS Fest West along with drivers that are ready to send it! A large jump will be constructed within the same dirt track that will contain the Off Road Challenge.There will be several opportunities to see these trucks hit the ramp and send it! When they aren’t airing it out over the jumps make sure to head over to the Dirt Tour booth in the Off Road paddock, and see for yourself just what it takes in terms of LS horsepower and suspension to get these trucks/buggies to land the huge jumps you’ll see throughout the course of the weekend. Refer to the schedule of events to ensure you don’t miss out on the opportunity to see Dirt Tour Desert Launch during LS Fest West.

Cinco De Mayo Tire De Fry’O Burnout Contest/Taco Party:
Join Holley and the crew from Hoonigan, as we pit several pre-selected vehicles from various LS Fest event segments (i.e. Pro-touring, off-road, drift, drag, show-n-shine, etc.) against one another in order to establish what group can provide the best gross display of horsepower for the night. There will be oversize pinatas, sombreros, taco trucks and an excessive amount of “hooning” taking place. The folks at Nitto are graciously providing the winners a product certificate good for a set of four tires.Would you like to show us how to perform a proper burnout? Contact us at [email protected] if you’d like to be considered for the contest!

AUTO REVOLUTION LS Fest Lead-Up Videos:
Auto Revolution has been filming some videos of local So-Cal hot-rodders who are preparing for LS Fest West. Check out the two videos below to see a square-body C10 that is going to be tough to beat in the show-n-shine and a few Camaros that are sure to be competitive on the autocross.
