About Prime Steel

Promoting interest in street rodding, classic & special interest automobiles since 1981.

The Prime Steel Car Club was established in the fall of 1981. The objective of the club is to promote interest in various forms of automobile street rodding activities, including classic automobiles and special interest automobiles. To create good fellowship and sportsmanship among all members of the corporation engaging in the foregoing activities. To conduct corporation functions and activities in a manner befitting members of the street rodding sport and to encourage a better understanding of street rodding as a constructive sport among members of the public, press and law enforcement agencies. To promote safety in driving, automobile maintenance and overall vehicle operation.

Every year, usually the second weekend in April, the Prime Steel Car Club puts on an annual indoor car show in Grand Forks, ND. During the summer months, a weekly cruise night is held Tuesday evenings at Cookies Lounge on the corner of Washington Street and Gateway Drive—the former El Roco building—in Grand Forks, ND.

The club is a non-profit organization, most of the proceeds go to the Prime Steel Park and local charities including the Salvation Army, Santa Claus Girls, St. Mike's Church, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, GF Library, Circle of Friends humane society and more.
