Hunt Valley Horsepower

General Car Club

Northern Baltimore County needed a place for automotive enthusiasts to gather. We're talking about all marques and generations of automobiles and all generations of respectful enthusiasts. After 2 months of weekend planning, Hunt Valley Cars & Coffee launched on Saturday, March 31, 2012. The setup was simple. Invite everyone from the regional enthusiast community to gather on Saturday mornings from 8 - 10 at Hunt Valley Towne Centre in Hunt Valley, Maryland and see what happens. Talk cars. Talk life. Meet old friends. Make new friends. Get the day rolling with some coffee, tea or whatever moves you. After anything from 20 minutes to 2 hours of eye candy, caffeine and 'catching up', start the rest of your day. 200 cars took part in the inaugural gathering. [The photo on the top bar comes from that gathering.] The first year was a time of tremendous growth. For the 1st Anniversary, 850 show cars, trucks and SUVs and 2400 spectators participated. The movement became large enough to merit the creation of an LLC. Out of respect for the standing trademark for Cars & Coffee, a new name was chosen. Hunt Valley Horsepower was born in February 20, 2013. Soon afterwrds, there was a meeting with Randy Moss, the first owner of Collectors Car Corral. In appreciation for the first 11 months of gatherings, he offered to pay for the community’s insurance. At that point, CCC was the first unofficial partner.
