Event Coverage Anyone heading to the Wisconsin Dells Automotion festival???

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Kellys Hot Rod Parts, May 15, 2012.

  1. Any H.A.M.B. attending the Dells Automotion show MAY 19-20 ? For those of you that have never been to this event its a great time to visit the Dells before the tourist season gets into full swing. The Automotion is a large spring show located at the Noahs Ark water park in Wis Dells.It includes a swap meet area and a car a corral. The cruising at night on the strip is really something to witness and the whole city becomes a moving car show at night..This will be our 4th year vending at the Dells and really consider it our spring kick-off ..If you attend the automotion stop by the Kellys Hot Rod parts tent and say Hey!!!!!

    Ill be there on saturday. I live 5 minutes away. Supposed to be beautiful on Saturday with highs in the mid 80's and sunny. Sunday, cloudy and mid 70's, small chance of rain. There are usually around 1000 cars there, plenty to eat and lots of shade.

    Edge of the Dells bar and campground hosts a burnout contest saturday night for the last few years. they draw quite a crowd. You can search youtube for "automotion" and see what its about. The Edge starting putting this on because the Dells police were cracking down on the cruising, burnouts, unnecessary displays of power and overall fun hotrod type activities. There used to be thousands of spectators lining both sides of the strip to watch the hotrod activities, and they would cheer from hotel balconies, sidewalks, amu*****t park parking lots, anywahere they could. After the city upped the patrol to officers to comb the strip back and forth and they starting writing fines for everything, cars stopped cruising, the spectators stopped lining the streets and the atmosphere was lost. Disappointing to say the least. It was really fun to cruise 10 years ago.
