Horsepower Hits the Streets
Classic cars, street rods, muscle cars, actual track cars and more will line the streets of downtown Jackson at what is set to be one of the largest classic car shows of the season. The show will take place amidst the energy and excitement of the Friday Night Street Party.
Vehicles of all makes and models, from the deuce coupes to the slammed s10 pickups, are expected to take over Michigan Avenue and across streets in the north and south direction. And you can be a part of this amazing line-up! Bring your classic ride downtown to show it off, and meet other car collectors and enthusiasts as you and your family enjoy the electrifying atmosphere that racing brings to Jackson.
Carrying on the Tradition
Racing in the Jackson community is firmly rooted in the past. Being just down the highway from Detroit influenced Jackson's youth to pick up on the high performance cars. Local speedways brought horsepower a place to play, whether that meant going around in circles or in a straight line from a dead stop. Local drive-ins like The Dome and Bee's brought a place for like-minded people to hang out and show off their rides.
Many of those racing hot-spots are long gone. The Dome moved off the Ave, but the tradition of cool cars that go fast has not left Jackson. Come downtown Friday night to experience the big blocks and flames as well as to take part in the festivities surrounding RaceWeek 2006.
