Rhode Island Street Rodding Upcoming Car Shows

Our first show of the season is Rhode Island Street Rodding Association’s Memorial Day Car Show, it’s the 35th Annual Automotive EXTRAVAGANZA!!!!

Monday, May 26, 2025. Details may be found; https://www.ristreetrodding.org/memorial-day-show

Johnston Memorial Park was a great host for the decades we were there and our appreciation to them for allowing us to use this beautiful park. We have moved the show to the Masonic Youth Center, 116 Long Street, Warwick, RI. This move was needed as the show has outgrown the previous location. At our last show there were over 450 vehicles in attendance! Rest assured everything else remains the same. It still remains a benefit for the Johnston Little league and of course, it would not be the same without CrusinBruce as our DJ.

Barre, VT – Following last week’s pre-season tire buy at Barre’s Thunder Road, Officials got a good look at what’s to come this summer at the Nation’s Site of Excitement. Over fifty different drivers attended Monday’s tire buy, making final preparations to their mounts after a long winter’s rest with a dry spring making for a great start on the groundwork for Officials at the track!

Rookies and veterans alike made the Monday afternoon trip to measure and chose the tires that most closely match their notebook from last year. Maplefields/Irving Late Model freshman Trevor Jaques and Kyle Streeter, Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel Flying Tiger first-timers Cam Powers and Brodie Frazier and rk Miles Street Stock rookies Jason Kirby, TJ Haggett, Jaiden Del Toro, Tyler Wheatley and Keegan Tabor were among those leaning on veterans like Tommy ‘Thunder’ Smith, Shawn Fleury, Brian Hoar and Mike Billado, among others, for whatever nuggets of wisdom they could pick up.
