The community-minded members of Dynamic Performance Auto Club are back with their second annual car show 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, June 19, at Bass Park in Bangor.

Gates open at 7 a.m. Registration is open until 10 a.m.

The event features 20-plus classes for show cars, two bike classes and six SPL (car stereo system) classes, with three trophies awarded each class.

For SPL enthusiasts, the show meter reads to 170-plus decibels!

Registration is $5 for cars, and $10 for the SPL competition.

Later, it’s drag racing at Winterport Dragway 3-9 p.m. Admission is $10 for racers and $5 for spectators.

DPAC member Noah Sargent has been in contact with Penobscot County Sheriff Glenn Ross, and Sargent reports a portion of the proceeds will help purchase a bulletproof vest for a new explosives detection K-9 that the department recently acquired.

Any additional funds could be used to purchase safety-coloring books depicting an anti-drug message dispensed by patrol deputies through the department’s Adopt-A School program, Ross has suggested.
