SECTION 1 - OFFICIAL CLUB NAME

The name of our club is “Raceline Performance Motorsports”

Also knows as "Raceline", Raceline PM, or "RPM"

SECTION 2 - ABOUT OUR CLUB

We are a team oriented club of automotive enthusiasts that incorporates many aspects of vehicle enhancements such as performance upgrades, visual alterations and audio/visual systems; based out of Savannah GA and founded in 2009 the original members were all former members of a club based out of upstate New York that decided to start a new club in the Savannah area.

We pride ourselves on our shared love for the automotive scene and diversity, but also on the fact that we are a active club that takes our passion and creativity and puts it to use, either in active competition in the car show circles or on the track in sanctioned events hosted by SCCA, NASA, SEAT, or any other organization that hosts an event.

We have been into the car show and track scene for many years and have a lot of experience. We regularly travel to shows and track events throughout Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, and South Carolina.

We are a family oriented club that is always looking for new people to become part of the club. We are looking for true enthusiasts like ourselves that are responsible, mature, and show true dedication.

It is important that we uphold these rules to get to know the possible future member.
