(SALEM, Ore.) - The Night of Fire Benefit Car Show is planned for Friday, August 5th in Salem. The annual event is the "circus of all car shows" and is always for a worthy cause. The event has become one of several must attend Summer events that is unique to the Salem area that people look forward to annually. Each year the charitable event helps a family in need or an organization worthy of help.

This year, the show benefits a local family from Dallas who has a special needs child named "Grace". Grace has a long list of ailments and birth defects.

The popular "ring of fire" returns at the end of the show with Ed "the Outlaw" Jones in the middle of the ring with his Jelly Belly Fire Truck which puts on a spectacular fire show. And just added to the ring is Gregg Lawerence and his nitro burning A/Fuel Dragster, Todd Swinford and the Photo Op funny car, and Dave Germain and his "Germinator" Top Alcohol Funny Car!

The show also includes "Hot Saw Bill" with his V-8 powered chainsaw, the Pharoe's Merc from American Graffiti, a dual engine tractor puller, the Capitol Auto Group Dragster, The Breaking the Chains Monster Truck, and over 200 of the hottest muscle cars and street rods in the valley.

Plus, there will be a silent auction, vender booths and concessions provided by Adam’s Rib Smokehouse.
