There’s nothing quite like a road trip — it’s woven into the fabric of Americana. And when it’s behind the wheel of a hot rod or performance car, it’s even better. The visceral feel of a V-8 engine thundering down open highways, the thrill of discovering forgotten backroads and the bond shared among fellow car enthusiasts — this is the spirit that drives Pavement Pounder Events. It’s about the destination and the journey. Join us as we celebrate the journey, the machines, and the memories made along the way.
This year’s event, Motor City to Wheel Hub Live, May 16–23, is a 1,000-mile back-road adventure designed for drivers who believe the journey is the point. Over nine nights, Motor City to Wheel Hub Live connects meaningful automotive destinations with the kind of roads meant to be driven, not rushed. If you value authenticity, discovery, and driving with people who get it, this event was built for you. Click here to learn more about Motor City to Wheel Hub Live.
