Camrose Cruisers Car Show
Camrose Cruisers Car Show
At the Camrose Regional Exhibition
Each year our show is a three day event. Friday night, the 100 Footer and the Autocross events will be combined into the same track. For those people interested in running only in the 100 Footer can simply exit the track at the end of the 100 Footer, or continue around the track to compete in the Autocross as well. The Autocross is gaining momentum every year and is an exciting addition to our event.

Saturday will host the Show 'n Shine downtown again this year, and this year we introduced a motorcycle class as well! Saturday evening will host the Cruise downtown, and there will be a drive-in movie once it gets dark.

Sunday will host the 100 Footer Competition and this is where the big dogs come out to play. Last year we had cars running under 2 seconds, so there are some very fast cars at this event! Bring some earplugs for the kiddies, because some of these cars are loud. Sunday will host a burnout competition as well.
