The Sunrunner’s Car Club was formed in 1984 with 16 charter members including the late Richard Alford as “Godfather” of the club. Today we have six club officers, 64 members and growing. We continue to meet on the first Thursday of each month at Alford’s Distributing in El Centro. Dues are still only $25.
The first event held by the club was a car show and potluck dinner with the Over the Hill Car Club of San Diego, Ca. as our guests, followed by a cruising tour of the Imperial Valley in February 1984. The late Frank Barros and Jerry Womack were the chairmen on this event with an expected attendance of 75 cars. This event has evolved in to the Sunrunners annual Carne Asada Run held in March of each year.
Our annual event draws over 150 classics, customs, street rods, and antique cars from across Southern California, Arizona, Colorado, and Nevada. We make it a family day with the show and shine, raffle prizes, carne asada dinner, music, and trophies with fun for all.
As a non-profit organization, we support various charity organizations such as the American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, Calexico Neighborhood House, and many community events across the Imperial Valley.
