2026 Ghost Rods Drag Meet
Vintage Drags, Swap Meet and Car Show 1974 and Older Vehicles
🔥 60 Years of Speed. One Unforgettable Weekend. 🔥
The rumble of vintage horsepower is returning to the legendary pavement of Wisconsin International Raceway—and this year, we’re not just hosting a meet… we’re celebrating six decades of drag racing history at one of the Midwest’s most iconic strips.
This year’s Vintage Drag Meet, Swap Meet & Car Show is rolling in with more horsepower, more history, and more heart than ever before—open exclusively to period‑correct 1974 and older vehicles.
Whether you’re a racer, a builder, a collector, or just someone who loves the smell of race fuel and old‑school steel, this is your weekend.
🏁 Vintage Drag Meet
Watch classic iron tear down the strip the way it was meant to be—raw, loud, and unapologetically fast. From gassers to muscle cars to pre‑war hot rods, this is real-deal racing with no modern tech to get in the way.
🔧 Swap Meet
Dig through piles of rare parts, vintage speed equipment, memorabilia, and hard‑to‑find treasures. Whether you’re hunting for that one impossible piece or just browsing for inspiration, you’ll find something with a story.
✨ Car Show
A curated display of the coolest, cleanest, and most character‑packed rides from 1974 and earlier. Survivor cars, customs, hot rods, restorations—if it’s period‑correct, it belongs here.
🎶 Old‑School Vibes All Day
Expect the rumble of carbureted engines, the smell of race fuel, the shine of chrome, and a crowd that lives and breathes vintage automotive culture.
📅 Mark Your Calendar & Bring Your Crew
This isn’t just an event—it’s a celebration of the machines and the people who keep this era alive. Come race, show, trade, or just soak it all in.
