The sixth annual Shake, Rattle & Roll Spring Car Show is rolling back into downtown Suffolk this Saturday, with 200 classic automobiles competing in the car show and other fun along the way.

From 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., the event will take place along North Main Street from Washington Street to Finney Avenue. It pays tribute to the racers, records and fans of the quarter-mile concrete track that formerly operated at the Suffolk Airport.

Free and open to the public, the car show will highlight pre-1975 vehicles. Other activities will include Suffolk Raceway memorabilia on display, live music by Hey! Hey! Hooligan, hula-hoop contests and more.

New this year, show cars must register at the Seaboard Station Railroad Museum parking area before proceeding down Main Street. The fee per vehicle is $25, and a variety of awards will be presented at 2 p.m.

Parking will be available in public lots in the downtown area.
