Memphis Super Chevy Car Show - Events & Shows

The schedule was shuffled a bit, but everyone wound up at the right place -- Memphis Motorsports Park -- for the first event of the 2003 AutoZone Super Chevy Show Season. The Greater Memphis area is rich in history, and well known for famous attractions like Beale Street, the Peabody Hotel, and Graceland. It's also home base for this event's special sponsor, COMP Cams.

You'll notice that we have all the winner's statistics on our web site now, leaving more room in the magazine for their photos. Over the next few months, you'll also notice that we've arrived at a web format for covering Super Chevy Shows that will appear in the magazine, as well as those shows that are designated as "Web Exclusive." Regardless of how each respective show will be covered, the winner's statistics will always appear right here on the Super Chevy site. Stay tuned, the show season has just been jump started.
