3. Who are the Rivercity Rippers?
In a cluttered world of Car Clubs, Car Meets, Car friends & Car Shows, RCR felt the need to bring it all together in one place and do it with a purpose. The purpose is to fuel our passion while uniting in our efforts and resources to bring awareness and donations to our favorite charities. We host multiple events including Cars in the Commonwealth (previously Cars in the Commons) which showcases the cars from our club and many other private collections. This community event is the highlight of our year but the RCR "Rippers" crew can be found each month at one event or another...or just doing what we love best: DRIVING and talking cars.
4. What is Cars in the Commonwealth?
Mark your calendars for July 26, 2025. Cars in the Commonwealth is the new name of your old favorite: Cars in the Commons. CITC is an annual celebration for car enthusiasts of all ages. Located in a new location (to be announced soon), we bring in just under 400 cars, 30+ sponsors and vendors, food, drinks, and music. We have a little bit of everything for everyone: Exotics, German, American, Vintage, Classic, JDM, etc but the heart of this event is CHARITY. We have a passion for cars and want to share our passion with purpose. The 2024 event brought over $43,000 to three charities: Norton Children's Hospital Foundation, The First Car Project, & Louisville Outreach for the Unsheltered.
