Drivers are set to shine up and show their 1972 and earlier street rods at the 17th Annual Lingenfelter Performance Engineering Blue Suede Cruise, July 13-15, 2018 at Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio.

They’ll also make fun-runs down the recently reconstructed track while music of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s plays in the background.

The event evocative of poodle skirts and pompadours will feature the Nostalgia Drag Racing League, Gasser Magazine Gasser Appreciation Race, a manufacturers' midway, swap meet, vintage fashion show, Vanessa's Women’s World shopping and door prizes from Summit Racing Equipment, Mickey Thompson Performance Tires & Wheels, Trick Flow Specialties, Lincoln Electric, Kellys Island Venture Resort, Erie Furniture Outlet, Cyclone Transmission, Callies Performance Products, the Diamond Collection and others.

Summit Motorsports Park supporter ScottRods Custom HotRods and Fiberglass is even building a 1934 Ford Roadster roller, valued at $22,000, to be given away during the event.

Heating up the evening on July 14 will be a Smoky Burnout Contest, a concert by Phil Dirt and the Dozers, a flame-throwing contest with judging for Injection and Non-Injection categories, a parade of neon lights and fireworks over the track.
