Motorsport enthusiasts and racers are gearing up for 'King of the Sh*t Boxes' on Saturday, 12 July at Wilby Motorsport Park.

The event was organised by Rich Tibba to memoralise local drag racing legends Harry Haig and Andrew Baumgartner 'Lerch' who both sadly passed away last year.

Harry and Lerch were known for their Wilby drag and drive event 'Hardass 1000'.

The two also shared a YouTube channel with Lerch's son where they shared their combined passion for building drag cars with the world.

All proceeds raised on the day will be going to Lerch's son Tyson.

You can also make a donation via https://www.gofundme.com/f/tyson-baumgartner.

The gates open at 8am to racers and 9am to spectators.

Entry fee for spectators is $10.
