Alright folks, let’s take a ride down memory lane. It all started back in 2017 when our get-togethers kicked off at a dealership in the Riverside Auto Center. But hold on tight because things were just getting warmed up!
Fast forward to January 2018, and we made the game-changing decision to move over to the legendary J&M Speed Center. And boy, did that move shift our momentum into high gear! But that was just the beginning, our family of car enthusiasts grew bigger and bigger. In November of 2019 we hit the 300 mark and now we're proud to regularly host 300+ of the most badass hot rods and cool cars around! As you know the awesome folks at J&M Speed Center will be closing their doors for good this Saturday. We can't thank them enough for allowing us to use their parking lot and for helping us build the community that we have today. Although we're sad to see them go, we're determined to continue our monthly meet-ups and have permission from the owner of the shop to keep meeting there. So let's take a moment to honor the iconic J&M Speed Center and show our support by grabbing a J&M Speed Center t-shirt before they're gone forever.

Our get-togethers have come a long way since 2017 when we initially met at a Riverside Auto Center dealership. However things really revved up in January 2018 when we moved to the legendary J&M Speed Center. Our meet-ups saw a tremendous shift into high gear, and in June 2018, we experienced our first milestone with a turnout of over 150 hot rods and cool cars. Since then, our family of car enthusiasts has grown immensely, and we now regularly host 300+ cars each month.
As most already know J&M Speed Center will be closing the doors on an era for So Cal hot rodders and racers this Saturday. They've been instrumental in providing us with their parking lot, and we can't thank them enough. We are forever grateful for the memories and the community that they have allowed us to build. Our meet will continue on and we know the folks at J&M Speed Center will be joining us with their awesome rides and finally get to see the all the way cool rides that come out to join us each month and not just watch them drive by through the front window of the shop! As we prepare to bid farewell to J&M Speed Center, we'll be posting all week long to recognize this iconic So Cal speed shop and to express our appreciation for their support. We invite you to stop by and grab a J&M Speed Center t-shirt to show your support for the shop before it's gone forever. WoWzers!! What an incredible turnout for our March meet-up! Well over 350 cool cars and hundreds of hot rodders filled Motor Circle all the way around, huge thanks to all that rolled in this morning!!
