05/05/2023

LS Fest West 2023 has come and gone, and what a weekend it was! By far the largest LS Fest West turnout we've ever seen, the show went off better than we could've expected. Thank you to all of our sponsors who continue to make these events happen, thank you to the media who continue to support Holley events, thank you to the racers who travel the world over to attend our events, and thank you to the spectators who come in to join in the fun...it's for you that we continue to bring you the best in automotive fun! Don't forget that LS Fest Texas in Fort Worth is less than a month away, and that LS Fest East, Holley MoParty and Holley's Intergalactic Ford Fest events will all go down in Bowling Green, Kentucky this September.


Las Vegas, we will see you next year!
