The Beginning:
In the beginning, the club was very small and started under a different name. President Chris and VP Sean were part of another group. They decided they would start a club based on some main ideas: Zero Politics. No import rice stuff. And a Zero Tolerance Policy for Bullshit. This decision was made at the end of an Auto Fair event, and within the next 6 months the club booked its first major event but under a different name. We started as Nite Riderz Car Club; this is a Muscle car club out of California. We quickly realized the wrong image portrayed, and the wrong group of cars being attracted by that name. Thus, Charlotte Muscle was born. The one and ONLY club to have an official Zero Tolerance For Bullshit Policy (at its time, and to this day!).
The first event was PINKS All Out at ZMax Dragway. We had 10-15 spots and we filled them. Some people didn’t like it, they said they were here for the racing. What they did not realize is that some of the cars in our show were more than capable of running great at this event. But instead of racing and possibly breaking our stuff, we were showing it off. Overall it was a success. We met some amazing people, including the PINKS staff, and this also established our relationship with Charlotte Motor Speedway.
By November 2010, we were in communication with Charlotte Motor Speedway (CMS) about auto fair. We were now set for our first HUGE Show event: Food Lion Auto Fair. After the first 2, we were upgraded from 10 to 15 spots. And so and so forth from there. Since this event, our success has been phenomenal! We’ve done Auto Fair, PINKS, Children’s Miracle Network Charity shows, Local Cruise-ins in many locations, and we’ve been able to establish members only events like BBQ’s and Photoshoots, as well as officially establish Charlotte Muscle as a Car Club.
