Anyone is welcome to participate in Sprite Car Club events. You don't need to drive a Sprite or Midget on these drives. You don't need to be a member of our Club (at least not the first couple of times), but we warn you, you'll probably enjoy yourself so much that you'll want to come back for more!
Come along in your normal daily car. As a matter of fact, there have been very few drives where we haven't had at least one or two modern cars tagging along.
Just bring along your sense of fun and adventure!
