Columbia, SC (1888PressRelease) April 11, 2011 - Event organizers have listened to the suggestions coming from show car participants at the previous RacersReunion events and have decided to make a significant change. This year's car show (Saturday April 16th), simply titled "The Car Show at RacersReunion" is sponsored by The Trophy and Gift Shop in Cayce, SC and will be open to all years and makes for only a $10.00 entry fee. The entry fee will also cover the event admission ($5.00) for one person. The show will be professionally judged and organizers expect a great turn-out for this year's event.

Other changes to the event format include moving the Friday night cruise-in to Maurice's BBQ. Cruisers will gather there at 5:00 PM Friday and Cruise back to Historic Columbia Speedway at 6:00 PM for the Lizard's Thicket Fish Fry and concert by Black Bottom Biscuits. The parade has been moved from Friday night to Saturday morning. Leaving the Kmart parking lot in West Columbia at 9:00 AM the "50 Years of Love" parade will kick off Saturdays' events.
