A Unique SoCal Car Club Is Open to All Comers
Since the day cars were made available to the general public, car clubs have been an important part of hot rod culture and helped to push the hobby ever further. The emphasis of these clubs was always focused on the idea of taking vehicles as they came from the factory and finding ways to improve the looks and performance through whatever means possible. Groups of builders and drivers joined forces to push the limits of their machines and gathered together on rural strips of asphalt to hang out and pit their hottest cars against those of other clubs. Southern California, in particular, has always been at the forefront of this movement and continues to be the place of origin for many new trends. Whether it’s traditional hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, or whatever other automotive style you might identify with, chances are the SoCal car culture has played a large role in its development.
