(INDIANAPOLIS) Family Events announces their car automotive performance events set for 2009 at venues across America. Two of the events, the Hot Rod Super Nationals and the Fall Street Machine Nationals will find new homes this season. The season kicks off with an indoor event in the Ozarks in February and finishes with a huge weekend for car lovers on Route 66 in Springfield, Illinois. Along the way, lovers of hot rods, street machines, collector cars, customs, and all kinds of performance vehicles will gather to share their passion.
Each of these events is designed to provide affordable family entertainment both for car owners who participate and spectators who admire the cars on display. Aftermarket performance part manufacturers and distributors, fabricators, and customizers set up booths and interactive displays to make it convenient for enthusiasts to learn about or pick up the latest products. Cruise activities and professionally-judged show-n'-shine competitions are staged. Kids' games, prize giveaways, and miss contests draw show attendees to the continuous fun happening on the main stage at the shows.
The six national automotive events compliment Family Events' Truck enthusiast series, also comprised of six events, called the 4-Wheel Jamboree Nationals events. For a full schedule of events please visit their website at www.familyevents.com.
