More than 3,000 classic, custom and muscle cars and trucks from 1978 and older will command attention across the acres at the 23rd Annual Lingenfelter Performance Engineering Blue Suede Cruise presented by Cometic Gasket, July 26-28, 2024 at Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio!
Awards will be given out to owners of the cars and trucks that make this must-attend event one of the largest of its kind in the country, and when fans are not busy checking them out in the sizable show fields, they can sit trackside for some quarter-mile fun-runs, thrilling Nostalgia Top Fuel and Nostalgia Drag Racing League action, or experience adrenaline-inducing Autocross!
The ScottRod's AA/Gassers will be part of the action, too!
Geeze Cats will perform a mix of outstanding oldies music and a Bader Family Signature Fireworks Show will fly over America’s Racetrack!
For some additional fun, explore all of the interesting items in the manufacturers’ midway, swap-meet, car corral and Women's World.
