Who wants to go on a Road Trip?!
Welcome to a brand new street car event called Road Trip – Cars and Cones 2016.
The Road Trip event is scheduled for May 2- 6, 2016 and will be a traveling autocross caravan. The Road Trip will begin in Concord, NC and meander through four states, concluding in scenic southern Indiana.
