Today we are over 100 members strong.
The first function of our organization was a cruise night held at MilfordVillageShopping Center on April 22, 1989. Our first "Jamboree" was held June 29-July 1, 1990 at the Delaware State Fairgrounds with 269 registered vehicles. All in all it was a good time and our Friday Night Kick-off Party has become a tradition. Our consecutive Jamborees continued to be great successes and the number of show cars registered has grown to over 1,500 and we predict to hit 1,700 at this year's event. Monies collected from spectator admissions and participant fees have been sufficient to ensure our ability to host each future year's jamboree and allowed our non-profit organization to contribute tens of thousands of dollars to local charitable organizations over the years. Our jamborees have been great successes thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, without whom none of this would be possible. Our Club would like to thank its members, friends, volunteers and local businesses for their donation of countless hours of their time and resources to make our show the largest on the Delmarva Peninsula. Also, a round of applause goes to you, the rodders and spectators who make it all worthwhile.
Our Club Objectives: To promote interest in the various forms of street rodding as a nonprofit organization. To create good fellowship and sportsmanship among all members of the club. To conduct club functions and activities in a manner befitting members of the street rodding sport, and to encourage a better understanding of street rodding as a constructive sport among members of the public, press and law enforcement agencies. To promote safety in driving, automobile maintenance and overall vehicle operations.
Our Membership Rules: Persons of sixteen years of age and older, of good character, and in possession of a valid driver's license are eligible for membership. Vehicles owned by active club members described as Club Cars, will be 1972 or earlier, plus any year pro-street vehicles. New members must own a vehicle, as previously defined, in order to join the club. A person must be sponsored by an existing club memeber. A good way to do this is to come to our shows or our Jamboree and help club members. Once nominated, you must attend 3 meetings or events (participate in events). Meetings are held the first Wednesday of each month in Harrington, DE.
Delaware is ranked 2nd in the North East Division of the National Street Rod Association and is included in the Top 25 for the nation due to the efforts of Inspector George Barilla - a long time club member.
