On September 12, 2026, we officially kicked off the KCG Rally Series with our first destination: Big Bear Lake, California.
The idea behind the KCG Rally Series was simple—bring automotive enthusiasts together, get out of Los Angeles, enjoy our cars on some incredible roads, and create experiences that go beyond the typical parking lot meet.
Our first route took us roughly 80 miles from Los Angeles to Big Bear Lake, traveling through the mountains and along the Rim of the World Scenic Byway before continuing into Big Bear.
The Journey to Big Bear
We started the morning early, meeting up in Los Angeles before heading toward the mountains together.
Once we reached the mountain roads, the scenery completely changed. City streets turned into winding roads, tall trees, mountain views, and some of the best scenery Southern California has to offer.
But the best part of the rally wasn't simply reaching Big Bear—it was the drive there.
The group stayed together, made stops along the way, took photos, enjoyed the scenery, and spent the morning doing what brought all of us together in the first place: enjoying our cars.
More Than Just a Car Meet
The KCG Rally Series was created to be something different.
Instead of meeting in a parking lot for a few hours and heading home, we wanted to create events where the drive itself is part of the experience.
These rallies aren't about racing or seeing who can reach the destination first. They're about bringing enthusiasts together, exploring new roads and destinations, and creating memories with the automotive community.
Our first trip to Big Bear captured exactly what we wanted the Rally Series to become.
Arriving in Big Bear Lake
After making our way through the mountains, we arrived in Big Bear and continued around the lake before reaching our final destination at the Interlaken Shopping Center.
After miles of mountain roads, incredible views, plenty of laughs, and a lot of photos, we officially completed the first-ever KCG Rally Series.
And we couldn't have asked for a better way to start.
Rally #1 Complete
A huge thank you to everyone who woke up early and spent the day making the drive with us.
Starting something new is always an experience, and having a group of enthusiasts willing to join us for the very first one made the day that much better.
Big Bear Lake will always be Rally #1.
This was only the beginning.
The KCG Rally Series will continue exploring new roads and destinations throughout Southern California and beyond.
Where are we going next?
Stay tuned.
