LS Fest East has come and gone once again, and we’re already looking forward to the next one. Being the birthplace of Holley’s all-LS events, the Bowling Green gathering is always expected to be huge. LS Fest East 2022 did not disappoint, even with less-than-ideal weather during two of the three days. The weekend was packed with people, action, and more cars and trucks than ever. There was something for every type of car enthusiast. Drag racing, autocross, drifting, a car show, a burnout contest, road course racing at the National Corvette Museum Motorsports Park, and even a downhill power wheels challenge for good measure. The Beech Bend Raceway grounds were expecting 50,000 spectators over the three-day event. With over 2,000 registered participants, there was plenty of entertainment for everyone.
Spectators were treated to all of the LS sights and sounds they could handle. And the downhill power wheels challenge is always a crowd favorite for some good-natured fun.
New for LS Fest East this year was the off-road course carved out of the beautiful hillside at Beech Bend Raceway. Over the weekend, we saw everything from Ultra-4 race buggies and tube chassis rock bouncers to pre-runners and even a fifth-gen Camaro built to tackle the course during the HooptieX race series.
The off-road course was a first for LS Fest East this year, and it was a big hit. There was no shortage of highly off-road capable rigs roosting the turns and catching air on the hillside at Beech Bend Raceway.

Beautiful show cars and trucks of all makes and models lined the road leading down to the tracks and vendor midway. The pits were full of RVs and race cars, many of which were already lined up to go through the tech shed. We knew it was going to be a great weekend.
The Twisted Speed & Performance C10, with its mid-mounted twin turbo LS, IRS, and air ride, was a crowd stopper all weekend.
Testing began early for all of the events. Meanwhile, everyone we talked to was keeping a close eye on the weather. Rain was projected to hit Beech Bend Raceway during the event. We were hopeful there would be enough sunshine throughout the weekend to get all the action in. With so much going on, the various competitions ran simultaneously. This meant we definitely got our steps in, crisscrossing the property to catch everything.
