Malmi Street Drags #3 @ Helsinki-Malmi Airport - 3th of August 2019 - Helsinki, Finland

Here's a photo set from 3rd Malmi Street Drags event held this summer in Helsinki-Malmi Airport. Warm day gathered a lot people to spectate how hobbyist cars and motorcycles competed against each other on the 1/4 mile drag strip of Malmi-Helsinki Airport in two classes, Street and Vintage. Big parking lot next to the strip worked as a hobbyist car park and gathered many lots of cool classic and custom cars. Check out also my photos from Malmi Street Drags #1 😊

Autot ja Viihde is the last of the big car shows in the calendar and marks the end of the summer cruising season in Finland. This year show was divided into two parts, Yankee Car Show and X-treme Car Show, and occupied three halls of the Expo center of Lahti, which worked as a venue for the event. Cars from all over Scandinavia participated to the three day event. There was also a lot see outside where Hobbyist Car Park gathered a lot nice cars from nearby areas.

Billy Gibbons from ZZ-Top; Jimmy Shine, a well known fabricator, car builder and owner of Shine Speedshop, and Gene Winfield, legendary car customizer, were special guests for this year's event. They gave out two awards, which were designated by them. Gene also participated into a demonstration, which included chopping a car in front of live audience.

LinnaCruising 2018 - 11th of August - HĂ€meenlinna, Finland - Part 1/4 - Rods & trucks

Here's a photo set of hot rods, street rods and pickup trucks I encountered during my LinnaCruising visit. LinnaCruising is a three day event held at the Kantola event park in HĂ€meenlinna, Finland. Area was easy to access since it is close to the city center of HĂ€meenlinna. I ended up taking a morning train to the city and walking from the station to the event park.

Event park of Kantola is on the shore of a lake called Vanajavesi. Park itself is a big grass area with a big gravel parking lot. LinnaCruising turned 16 years old this summer and it was the first time it was organized in Kantola. From 2013 to 2017 the event was held in Ahvenisto Race Circuit and before that in Satulinna and Verkatehdas. I visited Ahvenisto the next weekend. Story of that visit to Historic Grand Race is also coming out later this month 😊

The event opened on Friday evening with a Drive-In movie and live music. Saturday morning started with a burnout competition. There were also two F2 and F4 Powerboat exhibitions at the near lake. The day ended with a cruising and live music. A swap meet was organized on Sunday before the event closed. This was my first visit to LinnaCruising and it was a very pleasant one. There were a lot to see and experience. Hopefully I get to visit it next year as well.

Remember to check out my other photos from the event as well (links below) 😎
