According to Dodge, street-legal drag racing will occur on a pristine section of Woodward Avenue by Pike Street. The event includes a walkable pit area so you can check out the cars. 

Hop in a Charger to go for thrill rides and experience drifting. You can also enjoy the Raminator Monster Truck and the Bucking HEMI Experience.
