JACKSON, S.C. – Saturday was Coffee and Cars night at the Carolina Dragway.
Coffee and Cars was started in 2014 and is an informal group of car lovers.
Gearheads come to show off their rides and talk to others about their rides. Although clubs are invited to bring their group out, you don’t have to be in a club to participate nor do you have to have a show car or exotic to show up,” according to the Coffee and Cars website.
The Dragway, also known as the “House of Hook,” is the site of regular racing events. The next one is Thursday Night Thunder beginning at 6:30 p.m. June 11. To find out more about upcoming events, visit carolinadragway.com.
