CANFIELD -- Dave and Ed's Steel Valley Nationals Car Show returns to the Canfield Fairgrounds Friday through Sunday.
This is the second year for the event, which this year will include motorcycles as well as cars and trucks.
The family-oriented show will include burnout contests for cars and motorcycles, model and Hot Wheel car contests, vintage car racing, music and many vendors.
There will also be Dyno Wars, in which owners hook their car engines up to a Dyno machine to measure horsepower.
Another event will be the Slow Poke Drags. Two cars compete against each other like a drag race, but each aims to be the last one to the line. However, competitors cannot brake.
There will also be drag racing in conjunction with the Steel Valley Nationals at Quaker City Raceway in Salem on Friday and Saturday nights.
