Rats on the Platte
Burnouts, rat rods, swap meet, food trucks, camping, and mildly irresponsible fun. If you've got something sketchy, shiny, rusty, or rowdy, it belongs here.
WANT TO HAVE FUN?
HELL YESWorth the Drive.
People haul their junk over 1,000 miles for this. We only have room for around 100 show vehicles. Scarcity is real. If you want a spot, don't sleep on it.
Probably a terrible idea. You should come anyway.
Fuel & Noise
Dirt Track Round Up
Line up for dirt-track chaos, loose traction, and old-school sideways fun. Bring something rowdy, keep it controlled, and let the crowd hear it.
Mayhem on the Pad
Our burnout pad showdown. Smoke the tires, make noise, and give the crowd a reason to cheer. Trophies handed out for the best, worst, and most memorable tire murder.
Lug-Nut Show Down
A fast-paced lug-nut/tire-change challenge built for bragging rights. Quick hands, loud friends, and no excuses.

A model car contest for the builders, collectors, and detail nerds. Bring your coolest mini build and show off the small-scale madness.
Mistresses of Mayhem

Mini Mayhems
Kid-friendly chaos with Hot Wheels, valve cover racing, tire-change fun, and ways for the next generation to get involved.
