This summer, Muncie streets will be invaded by hot rod hybrids and radical rides.
The third annual Pro Street Invasion Extravaganza—Indy Pro Street Invasion 2025—will take place June 20–22 at Muncie Dragway. The event is hailed as the ultimate gathering for fans of big tires, blowers, wild paint jobs and loud open headers.
The event kicks off with 100 cars cruising from downtown Muncie to Cammack Station on Thursday, June 19, at 6 p.m.
Indy Pro Street Invasion showcases what organizers describe as “the baddest big tire pro street works of art on the planet, gathered at one location.”
Classes include Pro Street Gassers, Street Machine (small and big tire) and Pro Street.
This year, Pro Street Gassers are invited to “stand tall” and compete in The Gasser Attack for the Outstanding Pro Street Gasser award.
Event promoter Terry Scrivner launched Indy Pro Street Invasion in 2022. According to Scrivner, it is the first and only exclusively pro street car show in the world. He is a seasoned pro street competitor and judge.
“This show will be known all over,” Scrivner says.
The event aims to feature notable names from the pro street competition world, including Rob Johnson and Bradley Gray. Hundreds of registered competitors from Houston; Daytona Beach, Florida; Canada; and Australia are expected to compete at Muncie Dragway.
Pro Street Gassers are known as “wheel standers” for their high stance, lifted front suspension and ability to perform wheel stands using oversized rear tires. The term “gassers” originally referred to cars that competed in the National Hot Rod Association’s Gas Coupe and Sedan classes in the 1950s and 1960s. Pro Street refers to street-legal, imitation pro stock class race cars.
Despite the loud exhaust and big engines, Scrivner says the pro street cars are “100% street legal.”
Indy Pro Street Invasion will partner with the Madison Street Cruise on Friday, June 20.
The event features a show-and-shine, burnout contest, competitive racing and food vendors.
Competitors will park their vehicles on the top two levels of the Horizon Convention Center parking garage.
1925 PubHouse will offer a pro street-themed menu with specialty drinks like the McLaren Mule, RPM Punch and Nitro Rush, as well as Drag Strip Fries, Revved-Up Queso, High-Octane Wings and the Twin Turbo Burger.
During the event, Muncie Dragway will host an HSM drag racing series on Saturday, June 21, at 2 p.m.
“We’re going to have a little something for everyone,” says Muncie Dragway owner Scott Daniels. “Drag racing, car show and burnout contests. It’s family fun an eighth-mile at a time.”
Doug Bolin, a competitor and event staff member, will showcase 10 of his custom-built pro street vehicles, including a ’66 Corvette, ’68 Nova, ’69 Camaro and ’87 Monte Carlo.
Bolin says he built his vehicles to reflect the 1980s era of street racing. He notes that competitors often invest hundreds of thousands of dollars into customizing their pro street cars.
“Just trying to get that ohh-and-ahh factor,” Bolin says.
According to Scrivner, the average age of pro street competitors is 51. Bolin hopes the event inspires the next generation of pro street racers and junior dragsters.
“It ain’t the miles per gallon, it’s the smiles per gallon,” Bolin says.
Night of Fire Returns
On July 26, Muncie Dragway will host its signature annual event: Night of Fire. The event includes a hellfire jet truck, four jet cars, the world’s fastest jet semi, a wheel-standing school bus and Nostalgia Super Stock cars.
“This is our granddaddy event,” Daniels says.
Night of Fire gates open at 8 a.m., with T-Trial at 10 a.m. followed by racing. Tickets are $20 in advance at Sam Pierce Chevrolet or $25 at the gate. Children 11 and younger are $5.
