At Brainerd International Raceway, you know summer has started when the ground rumbles, the grandstands shake and the unmistakable growl of big horsepower fills the air. It means American Muscle has taken over the dragstrip for BIR’s first major event of the season: the Street Car Showdown.
The Showdown is scheduled for Memorial Day weekend (May 28-30) and will provide fans with a healthy dose of drag racing and road racing, as the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) provides all the action on the road course Saturday and Sunday during the annual Harvey West Memorial Classic. The Showdown has become an annual tradition for more than a decade, with live music, camping and fun for the entire family. A single ticket gets fans in to see both races, and kids 12 and younger are free.
The weekend…
