Holley LS Fest West in Las Vegas, Diverse Automotive Events
Las Vegas, Nevada, baby! Picture this: the Holley LS Fest West roaring into town like a beast on four wheels, revving up the asphalt at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway from April 26-28, 2024. This shindig ain’t your average car meet; nah, it’s a full-throttle celebration of all things LS engine from GM. You got your gearheads from every corner gathering round, ready to rip it up in Autocross, Drifting, Drag Racing, Off-Road showdowns, and then some. But it’s not just about the racing; it’s about the vibe, man. Folks bonding over their love for LS-powered rides, swapping stories, and soaking in that sweet, sweet automotive culture.
Now, let’s rewind the tape a bit. The roots of this bash stretch back over a decade to Bowling Green, Kentucky, Holley’s stomping ground. Started off as a small gig for LS muscle cars, and now? It’s a global phenomenon, baby. LS Fest West popped its hood in Sin City back in 2017, bringing the party out west. And year after year, it’s grown into this monster of an event, drawing in folks from all walks of life to witness the LS engine flex its muscles in drag races, off-road tracks, and sideways drift battles.
Fast-forward to 2024, and the Las Vegas Motor Speedway is buzzing like a hive of horsepower. Car show? You betcha. Classic rides, modern beasts, all strutting their stuff, showing off what an LS engine can do. But the real showstopper? The Grand Champion showdown, where drivers throw down in multiple events to snag that top spot. And hey, it’s not just about the races; you got vendors peddling the latest LS tech and aftermarket goodies, turning this fest into a gearhead’s paradise.
So, in a nutshell, the Holley LS Fest West ain’t just about burning rubber and throwing sparks; it’s a full-blown celebration of LS power. It’s where petrolheads come to swap stories, push their rides to the limit, and soak in that sweet, sweet camaraderie that comes with being part of the LS family.
Couldn’t make it to the event? No worries! The Auto Builder has got you covered. Join us as we recap the big winners of Holley’s LS Fest West 2024.
