The 25th annual PWR Power Blue Suede Cruise can only be described as a 3-day lovefest of the automobile. Classic cars and trucks dating as far back as 1916 covered nearly 30 acres of the Summit Motorsports Park grounds. Add in Nostalgia Funny Cars, Top Fuelers, a 64-car gasser field, and other front-motored vehicles, and you end up with quite the event. Here are some photo highlights by Dave Oakes.
