The WHRR crew will be at this year’s Out-A-Sight Drags Car Show!
Saturday, June 26th from 9 am to 3 pm. Held at the famous Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove, WI.
Imagine parking your hot rod all along the ¾ mile drag strip. Every spot will have a great view of the “vintage-only” dragsters as they race down the track. They have over 300 registered to appear from all over the country because of the venue and the reputation of the Brew City Gassers Club.
You will be able to walk the pit area to see the dragsters up close.
There will be “repurposed” nostalgic trophies awarded. These are one-of-a-kind trophies giving for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. Plus, Wisconsin Hot Rod Radio will be awarding their very own “Young Gun” trophy.
Music will be in the background all day, but won’t cover up the engines as they rip past you.
There will be the traditional “track” food and refreshments available.
Here are the event details:

Iola Car Show and Swap Meet with Joe Opperman, Executive Director.
This event will be July 8-10th. Held in Iola, WI.
This event continues to be voted in the top 10 by automotive enthusiast throughout the USA.
The entire 300+ acres will be used for over 4 thousand vendor spots that are automotive related. It is so huge that Iola prints an extensive catalog which organizes the vendors with detailed maps to find them. For those that are cel phone savvy they made available specialized phone app that will include a unique GPS locator. This means you will type in a specific part or vendor and it will guide you to that spot. Saving you time as you navigate through rows of cool stuff.
The Car Show will be all days and is situated in special area alongside the swap area. This is not a competitive show, so you can chill and enjoy the sea of cars, trucks and motorcycles. You will receive a commemorative dash plaque for participating.
However, there is a special theme – “The 70’s” show. If you have a car that fits the groovy period theme of 1970 to 1979 you will be asked to park in a designated area. You should pre-register your vehicle to make sure make sure you are included in this theme. It’s will be so 70’s that one of the Brady Bunch kids will be there checking them out. Barry Williams who played Greg Brady will be there.
