The Fuelfed Buckeyes & Bourbon Rally takes the bespoke approach that Fuelfed is known for in rallying and expands to a new elevated format. First, we escape the long cold Midwest winter for warmer climates to explore the uncrowded and lush rolling roads only the western Appliachan range can provide.
Second, we’ve secured two unique accommodations rarely available for a relaxing multi-night stay. Dining & cocktails…what is a Fuelfed rally with out unique culinary & cocktail experiences? Buckeyes & Bourbon provides 5 days and 1500 miles of incredible driving with safely sampling the historic distilleries of Kentucky.
Finally, we are curating just 15 vehicles manufactured prior to 2000 to ensure a great mix of classics. All roads, accommodations and venues are well vetted by experienced Fuelfed rally organizers.
Here’s one from a Fuelfed member who’s well known in the Euro-classic scene. All his builds and daily’s are to extremely high order and this Mercedes SL is no different.

Wow! What a great turnout for the Fallen Leaf Drive this morning. Our members are not afraid to drive their classics in wintery conditions. Honoring our motoring heritage and the US military who used our route today for over 150 years.
The weather looks fantastic for our annual Thanksgiving Fuelfed Fallen Leaf Drive tracing the beautiful Heritage Trail. Coffee at the start and coffee at the conclusion. Camaraderie all the way.
The Fuelfed tradition continues every October in Winnetka when we feature members who dress in the era from which their classic was in production. The top three as chosen by our event workers receive a trophy for their creativity. We also encourage spectators to dress up.
Fuelfed Vinturo 3 Road Rally this Saturday immediately following our Coffee and Classics Douglas. Always an eclectic mix of classics on this mini rally.
Yesterday as we returned to the birthplace of our Fuelfed Coffee & Classics in downtown Winnetka some 12 years ago, we reflect on how our simple concept (thank you Highland House for being the first in 1963) pioneered the future of what is now the ubiquitous cars and coffee format.
Yesterday’s Fuelfed Coffee and Classics was far beyond the 24 first cars to arrive with George Klein and his E-Type being the very first that very cold September Sunday morning in 2010. In fact, we never dreamed to have over 220 European cars support our mission in Winnetka. Yet here we are, true to the original vision, grateful for the 1000s of people we have met and very proud of the large community we have built around a then small club of drivers we called Fuelfed.
This Sunday morning (9.25), Winnetka will be seeing red as our 10th annual Ferrari feature takes over the streets. Only Fuelfed members and Ferraris for this one…no day passes this month.
We also want to thank @conautosports for being a continued Fuelfed sponsor all these years.
