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.
