America’s love affair with cars started about a hundred years ago, around the time the Ford Model T grabbed everyone’s attention as the first mass-produced automobile. In the decades since, our affinity for vehicles of all shapes and sizes has only grown. During Star City Motor Madness, an annual celebration of automotive history in all its glory, car aficionados will gather to share their mutual love of classic cars, trucks, and motorcycles. This year’s SCMM marks the event’s 17th year and will be held Friday, June 22, and Saturday, June 23. Proceeds from the two-day event benefit Roanoke’s Virginia Museum of Transportation and other nonprofit organizations.
In honor of the 25th anniversary of Roanoke-based club Star City Corvettes, the featured car at SCMM this year will be the Corvette. The club will invite Corvette owners from around the state and beyond to participate in this year’s SCMM.
The Fun Stuff
Star City Motor Madness is one of the largest auto events in the Mid-Atlantic region and draws car enthusiasts from all over. Here’s some of what you can expect to enjoy over the fun-filled weekend:
- Cruise-In: From 6 to 10 p.m. on that Friday, special-interest automobiles, trucks, and motorcycles will gather for a head-turning cruise along Roanoke’s historic Williamson Road.
