Fuelfed Holiday Party

Whoa!? Seriously, it’s that time already?

Wow! Very much looking forward to sharing some great Holiday cheer Tuesday evening with our Fuelfed brethren.

2018-19 Members only

Things We are Thankful For…

Health. Working in the garage hasn’t killed us yet, so it must be making us stronger.

Family. They haven’t abandoned us despite all the time we spend in the garage.

Friends. Whenever we need them in my garage, they come a runnin’ with beer and free advice.

Fuelfed. Without this close group of crazy car nuts, driving old cars would have no purpose.

Hammrod Waits…

As Fuelfed members make final preparations to their chariots for this weekend’s legendary driver bootcamp, the Hammrod sits in its own dust waiting. Waiting in its battle scarred kit from its gloried past.

The Final Drive 18

A Tribute to Karsten

We wanted to share a short video of a Fuelfed member who we sadly lost earlier this year. Karsten’s dream 911 was bought back by its builder ROCS Motorsports who wanted to make sure the classic would continue to be loved and cherished as Karsten would have wanted. The video does a great job of honoring the spirit that was purpose built into it.
