In-N-Out Burger Needs Your Car!

McDonald’s may be king, but In-N-Out outranks it as everyone’s favorite fast-food restaurant. However, not everyone has access to the chain, being a SoCal tradition since 1948 and more recently available to those in the Southwest, Northwest, and Rockies. In celebration of 75 years of hamburgers and more, In-N-Out is holding a 75^th Anniversary Festival at the (newly christened) In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip on October 22, 2023. The day will be full of cars on display, drag racing, live music, food, and more. Best of all, the restaurant chain is looking for a few good vehicles to recruit for the show — do you have a hot rod, classic, or muscle car to bring?

There are two core aspects of the celebration: the Festival will include the car show, drag races, and other activities like carnival games, several stages featuring bands playing your favorite tunes throughout the decades, special In-N-Out displays including Cookout Trucks and other concessions, and a myriad of vendors. There will also be a Rock 2 Freedom Benefit Concert (which will require a separate ticket) to benefit the Slave 2 Nothing Foundation, a non-profit created by the burger chain that helps those who are enslaved by any substance or person to gain freedom and healing from substance abuse, and to create, educate, and assist with solutions to eliminate human trafficking. Performing on the main stage will be .48 Special (In-N-Out Burger’s family band) followed by funksters 311 and that little ol’ band from Texas, ZZ Top.

But enough about music and improving the world — you wanna hear about the car stuff, right? Purchasing a car show ticket grants you entry for one vehicle, entry to the Festival, and a commemorative gift. Purchasing an Elimination Bracket Racing ticket will grant you entry for one vehicle to race in one of five classes: Ford, GM, Mopar, Miscellaneous Muscle Cars, or NSS A/FX; the driver will also receive a ticket for entry to the Festival. Purchasing a Fun Run ticket grants the less competitive to two Fun Run races, plus one entry to the Festival. As you may have guessed, all NHRA rules will apply.

Of course, since your hot rod, classic, or muscle car is the greatest ever, you just may win an award. Space is limited, so help fill the slots with some spectacular vehicles, will ya?
