About the Show
Magic Dragon Street Meet Nationals Information and History:
The Magic Dragon Street Meet Nationals is a unique show for all makes, models, and years of cars, trucks, and motorcycles. The show celebrated its 21st year in 2009 and 2010 promises to be the best ever! At the 2009 show, we registered 854 vehicles and expect to break that record in 2010. Located in Central Missouri, we bring over 20 years of show experience to the historic Bagnell Dam Strip at the Lake of the Ozarks. The strip is closed to normal traffic during show hours, so we only have show vehicles. This creates and absolutely electric atmosphere! Some say it’s like being on the set of “American Graffiti”.
How did we get our name?
Some folks say that the lake, which is over 90 miles long, looks like a big dragon from the air as it winds through the central Missouri hills. Several years ago, it became known as “The Land of the Magic Dragon”. At our very first show in 1987, we used the name “Magic Dragon” and it has stayed with us to this very day.
While here at the show you can cruise the strip to the broadcast tunes of the 50’s and 60’s provided by our old friend, Leo Case, as well as visit with other car enthusiasts from all over the United States. If you would like to have your vehicle judged, we offer drive through judging, so you can go at your convenience. Of course, the Bagnell Dam Strip provides lots to do, with shopping, good places to eat, and lots of arcade games for the kids. After the show, the Lake of the Ozarks area is famous for great dining, shopping, golf, plenty of places to stay, and some of the most beautiful sunsets anywhere in the world. So come and see us the first weekend in May. You’ll be glad you did!
At the Magic Dragon Street Meet Nationals, we have “Drive Through Judging”. Show entrants who wish to be judged can go when they are ready. Our judges will be judging cars from 8 AM to 5 PM on Saturday. The Magic Dragon judges come from across the area and represent a broad spectrum of experts in automotive excellence.
