SUNSET SHOWOFF 8
Sunset Showoff isn't just a car show. It's a motorsports event. While the rest of the scene parks cars in a lot, we built an experience around driving them the way they were intended. From drag strip, to drift pit, to burnout pad, every inch of our venue is built for cars in motion. Four venue upgrades and record breaking attendance later, Sunset Showoff has become one of Ohio's defining annual motorsports gatherings at Kuhnle Motorsports Park.
