The 8th Annual Gear Jammer Magazine Truck Show kicked off on Friday at the New England Dragway in Epping, New Hampshire, with vintage trucks tearing down the drag strip and plenty of family fun besides.
This year's show promises to be the biggest ever, with the show's return to the dragway for the second year in a row, where it hopes to raise $125,000 for charity. The event runs through Saturday at 10 p.m., with the spectator gate having opened at 11 a.m. on Friday. Drag racing kicked off at 1 p.m., and competitors will tear down the strip through the afternoon, then again from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday until the "King of The Hill," who will win a cash payout, is determined.
Friday night features musical performances by Heartland Radio and Sean Stemaly, and on Saturday another concert with artist Kamryn precedes the trophy presentations at 6:30 p.m.
The weather forecast was looking good, and there's plenty of parking. All proceeds from the $25 gate will go the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism, and when it gets dark around 8:45 p.m., the "Lights On For Autism" truck light show will begin.
