The inaugural LS Fest West at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway is going down in 2017. For too many years, the east coast has been monopolizing LS events, including Holley’s famous LS Fest — not anymore! People west of Mississippi will no longer have to make the cross country journey to Bowling Green, Kentucky, where Holley is headquartered. This year, a west event has been added to the docket, and it is open for registration.
Pre-registration is now open for the LS Fest West event that runs from May 5th-7th. Like the traditional LS Fest, it will include many segments within the event, and introduce a new off-road challenge — some of the other events will also be unique to the west event, while many of the same traditions will carry over. Learn more about registration and the event details in the official release blow.
