Holley Announces LS Fest Event At Texas Motor Speedway

In case you hadn’t heard, Holley is taking their LS Fest event to the Lone Star State! As a third installment of the ever-popular LS Fest series, Holley has opened up the registration for its LS Fest Texas event scheduled for June 17-18, 2022.

As with all the other awesome LS-based “Fests,” Holley’s popular event series is dedicated to all vehicles powered by GM’s LS and current-gen LT engines. The roster of events will give enthusiasts ample opportunities to exercise their late-model engines in a variety of competitions. There will be the ever-popular autocross for those who enjoy this type of low-speed competition to highlight your ride’s handling, acceleration, and braking. For those straight-line speedsters, the no-prep drag racing in one of a variety of classes is sure to please. All classes will run Heads-Up for the 1/8th Mile on Texas Motor Speedway’s NASCAR pit road. There will be an instant-light start with a win light only finish, no times will be posted. You win or you don’t. Classes include Big Tire Unlimited, Small Tire Unlimited, Drag & Drive (naturally-aspirated), Drag & Drive (power adder), Truck & SUV, and Grudge Test-N-Tune.

For those who prefer a little bit of both worlds, there is the Baer Brakes 3S Challenge! 3S Challenge stands for Speed, Stop & Steering, and combines elements of autocross and speed-stop into a single event that will test the ultimate limits of car and driver. If high-speed track action is your thing, Holley’s Track X combines the best elements of autocross and road course lapping into a single event. Utilizing the inside road course at Texas Motor Speedway, Track X creates a fun high-speed event highlighting driver skill and car balance. Track X is open to autocross and all-access participants.

For those daring souls who don’t mind scraping melted rubber from their rides, there are a few events you’ll surely love. The Drift Challenge will test your skill at full-lock counter-steering and the burnout competition will test the mettle of your tires in full-on Aussie-style burnouts. Holley’s burnout challenge pits several hand-selected competitors against one another to see who can impress the crowd the most. To be considered, select “Yes” when asked if you are interested in competing in the Burnout Contest during registration.

Killing tires takes on a whole new meaning during the burnout competition. “Go big or go home” during the burnout competition means you’ll likely need a trailer to get there!

Of course, if you’ve got something to show, you can either do it on the dyno at the Holley Dyno Challenge or for a little slower pace, the Hooker Blackheart/LS1Tech.com Car Show. The Holley crew will be choosing their favorites, and there’s even an “Under Construction” class for those of you whose rides aren’t quite finished. With several classes for the car show, there’s sure to be one to suit your LS-powered ride.

Car Show Classes:

  • Street Rod (pre 49) –Any domestic cars built prior to 1949.
