The JN Chevrolet Big Rig and Truck, Drags and Show will be tomorrow at Hawai'i Raceway Park.

Gates open at 6 p.m., and admission is $12 and run cards are $60.

The trucks will race on a quarter-mile straightaway for $3,500 in cash and prizes. There also will be a best-of-show truck pageant and a postrace party featuring Koauka.

In addition, Paradise Lua will be kicking off its foodbank food drive. Those that bring food to the event will receive $2 off admission.
