Historic Bagnell Dam Strip
Lake of the Ozarks
Magic Dragon Street Meet Nationals
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 23rd year in 2011 and 2012 promises
to be the best ever! At the 2011 show, we registered
1061 vehicles (a new record) and expect to break that
record in 2012. 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 of the
Ozarks, 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.
