What we’re about
NYC may not be the most car-friendly place on the planet but the roads and magnificent scenery surrounding the metro area are among the best anywhere.
This group of enthusiasts love to drive their cars and appreciate the thrill of exploring new points of interest. When we are not driving our cars, we enjoy the camaraderie of fellow enthusiasts and sharing stories with new friends is a great way to anticipate the next great drive. Look forward to informal off-season social gatherings as well.
Cheers,
David, Whit and Nick...

See all- Las Vegas F1 Grand PrixStout NYC, New York, NY
This event will mark the second time Formula One is racing in Las Vegas since the 1982 Caesars Palace Grand Prix (interesting story)... It takes place on a temporary street circuit, including the Las Vegas Strip, and appears to be an attempt to rival the Monaco GP - which has proven to be one of the favorite courses of each season.......
RSVP early as this race viewing will probably be busy, and though we will have a block reserved for us....
Let Nick know if you are bringing a group larger than 4 and he'll see if he can arrange a larger table reservation for you..
