OK Folks, The Holley LS Fest is coming up Sept 5-7 and the kyscca will once again be hosting the Autocross! Last year we had a blast and this year will be even bigger and better! We are looking for 2 things from our kyscca friends and members:
1. If you have an LS powered car enter the autocross and 3S challenge! Last year Russ Coleman went down, had a blast and nearly won the Autocross! The 3S challenge will be the most fun and coolest event you’ve ever driven in guaranteed and you will get so many runs you might need an extra set of tires to get home!
2. If your not entering the event we need volunteers to help work the event. The Autocross is held all day Friday and Saturday and the 3S Challenge is Sunday. We will feed you, put you up in a room and most importantly you will get a credit toward a kyscca autocross entry for EACH day you work! Included in all this fun is watching some big time (all LS Powered of course) Drift guys compete in between autocross sessions and some crazy fast drag cars going at it all weekend too! Last year we had a blast, this year will be even more fun so you do not want to miss out on this one so help the club in one of it’s largest fund raising events of the year and hang out with your buddies for a couple days surrounded by some cool people and cars! Post up here or message me if you can help, and I will be in touch with details.
