From the moments we opened the gates at LS Fest West 2023, we knew that the show was going to be something to behold. And for Don Brown, the winner of our 2023 LS Fest West Trip Sweepstakes, getting the opportunity to check out the show on the company's dime is all the sweeter. A lifelong gearhead with a penchant for tri-five Chevrolets and circle-track race cars, he entered the contest believing he actually had a fair shake of a chance. "I normally don't sign up for those things, but Holley is a name you can trust, so I did," he told us. And like many, once he entered the contest he...well, forgot that he entered!

"I've got a neighbor with the last name Holley, spelled the same way," he said, "and when I got the call a month later, I thought it was somebody working on my neighbor's house!"

When we asked if there was anything specific he wanted to see while he was here, he told us, "I love all of it! This whole thing is great!"...and then immediately made a beeline to the LS-swapped jet ski parked next to the Holley trailer. You just can't keep a gearhead still at LS Fest West!
