The smoke has settled and Cliffs and Combustion 2026 has come to an end.
I’ve spent most of my adult life, building vehicles, learning, failing and getting back up. We’ve traveled North American to truck shows, race events, trade shows. I’m very blessed to say If it’s automotive related I’ve almost seen it all.
When the idea struck to do our own show, the idea was just a gathering with my friends at our new shop. It quickly grew into something truly spectacular. Few long shot txt messages to my friends and they all said yes. Sh*t… what now?
Few months later we locked in 28 sponsors and 3 unreal media guys .media This absolutely couldn’t have happened without the lending a hand and trusting we could pull this off.
I had a few conversations. What if it doesn’t work? What if no body shows? Well it wasn’t without the work… pulled through with every single last minute idea I had. grabbed the trophy idea and ran with it brought those to life. pulled through with insurance as they always do. My response to everyone? If it doesn’t work I’ll have a great time with my friends and family.
From the crazy ideas, to doing a colab with us, our own event labeled beers, the shop party’s.
The most humbling and important part, as I closed the event down, looking out at the people. We are absolutely blessed beyond belief. New friends, new supporters and this is just the beginning.
Heartfelt thank you to every single sponsor, a huge one to my wife and my son Daxton, my family, My Team at Bear Mechanical, their wife’s, their family’s and our community!
Thank you to every single person that took the time to come and talk to me, shake my hand and tell me about their experiences. It’s something I will always cherish.
We did it, 2027 Cliffs and Combustion is something yall will want to be a part of. Let’s change the game!
