SPARKS, NV — Hot August Nights 2023 kicked off on August 1.

Over the past few years, the Summit Racing Show-n-Shine at the Summit Racing retail store in Sparks, NV has helped mark the opening of the event. Once again, hot rods made the trek down I-80 East from Reno to Sparks for what is now an annual tradition. (It also helps that there is a 10% off Hot August Night show special in-progress.)

We grabbed our camera gear and joined the fun. Here are a few of our favorite rides from the Summit Racing parking lot.
