Celebrating its 25th anniversary, the Clawson Lions Club's "Down on Main Street" Car Show clearly was the best we've ever had! Despite a few short sprinkles after lunch, the sun kept the paint and chrome blazing all day Saturday, August 12th! More than 400 cars were in the show -- so many that we ran out of parking spaces at the curb and had to park some in the middle of Main Street. More than 8,000 spectators showed up to see the fabulous street machines. Everyone got to dance to the great oldies spun by the one-and-only Rockin' Ronnie while they stuffed themselves with all the good food and drink you could ask for. And when the judging was over, over 250 trophies and other awards found new homes with lucky owners.

We want to extend our sincere thanks to all the business and individual sponsors who make this event such a success. Without their unwavering support, in good times and bad over the past 25 years, we couldn't pull it off. A special thanks to our Corporate Sponsors Double Action Indoor Shooting Range, City of Cars, Weiss Distilling Company, and Whiskey Taco Foxtrot and all of the rest of our business and individual sponsors in the list below. Their generous support helps us cover the costs of putting on the show. Our thanks to the United Street Machines Association (USMA). They've done such a fantastic job over the past 25 years pulling all of the details together. All the judging, trophy presentations, promoting the show and logistical support -- there is so much that goes on behind the scenes to make an event of this size a success. Finally, let's not forget our biggest supporter and partner, the City of Clawson and all of the City staff. Without the help of the Police, Public Works and supporting departments, we couldn't shut down one of the major arteries in our town from sun up to sun down the day of the show and have everything back to normal without a trace the following day.
