It is a partnership between Koroit Lions Club and the Warrnambool and District Drag Racing Association.

The event was started 15 years ago by the Lions club, with the drag racing coming on board several years ago.

Koroit Lions Club member David Mathison said having another group made a difference with more hands on deck.

"The other great thing is the contacts the drag racing guys have has drawn more people in," Mr Mathison said.

Saturday's event will include swap meet stalls, a display of show cars and a large furniture item sale, with a sale in the Lions club shed.
