The Basics: Intro To Automotive Electrical
Automotive electrical can feel like black magic — but it doesn’t have to. Join us for a hands-on evening class led by one of our own members, M27 Autowerks, and get demystified.
We’ll cover the fundamentals: tools, connectors, wire types, and how to actually use them. You’ll learn how to pin and depin connectors, safely crimp wires, and use a multimeter without frying anything (or yourself). Expect real-world examples, live demos, and a full wiring harness to explore.
This class includes a practical activity where you’ll get to work with real tools and materials — no watching from the sidelines. Whether you're chasing a short, building a harness, or just want to understand what the hell your car is doing, this is for you.
Come get hands-on, ask questions, and finally start to unlock the dark arts of car wiring.

Public Event: Le Mans Style Go-Karting
We’re bringing back one of our most legendary events: Le Mans-style go-kart racing at Go Kart World.
Here’s how it works: You’ll team up with another driver and take on a 1-hour endurance race packed with pit stops, driver swaps, and full-throttle strategy. It’s not just about speed—it’s about brains, timing, and keeping it together when the adrenaline’s pumping.
Expect friendly rivalries, chaotic pit lanes, and bragging rights that last way longer than the race. Whether you're gunning for the podium or just out to have a blast, this event always delivers.
All skill levels welcome—just bring the energy (and maybe a helmet if you’ve got one). Spots are limited and this one always fills up, so grab your teammate and lock it in.

Public Event: Big Summer BBQ
Summer’s in full swing, and we’re throwing a BBQ at Wanderwell on Wednesday, August 13th — and yes, you’re invited.
We’re opening up the shop for a night of grilled food, cold drinks, and good hangs. Whether you’re a member or just curious about the space, come kick back, meet some great folks, and enjoy a chill summer evening in the garage.
🍔 Free food for members🌭 Not a member? Grab a plate and toss a few bucks in the jar to support the shop.
Bring your friends, bring your appetite, and we’ll see you there.
