Fortress Motorsports is a visionary organization dedicated to uniting automotive enthusiasts under a shared passion for cars while driving community impact and innovation. Through a phased approach, we aim to create a thriving ecosystem that includes a robust foundation for local philanthropy, a modern car club, and participate in, and create innovative business ventures. With our core values of F
airness, Respect, Care, and Honesty guiding every step, Fortress Motorsports seeks to become a cornerstone of the automotive community, fostering connections, supporting local causes, and celebrating the rich culture of automobiles. Fortress Foundation and Fortress Car Club do not focus on political or religious agendas, or outdated club practices like military ranked leadership, which many Veterans and active duty forces find offensive and unwarranted in a civilian organization operating day-to-day. The Fortress Car Club is a modern and inclusive automotive community designed to celebrate the passion for cars while fostering camaraderie, education, and giving back. With a unique focus on diversity, it caters to a wide array of automotive interests, including:
Special Interest Groups:

Additional Focus Areas:

The Fortress Car Club is a membership association under the Fortress Foundation and your tax deductible donation to the Fortress Foundation acts as your membership. The Fortress Foundation is the philanthropic arm and parent governing organization of Fortress Car Club, dedicated to driving positive outcomes for the community through:
-Community Initiatives: Organizing charity car shows, road rallies, and fundraisers to benefit local causes.

THE IRON EAGLE + THE FOUR STAR VALUES
The Iron Eagle symbolizes strength, precision, and freedom—values that align closely with the mission and vision of Fortress Motorsports. As a powerful and majestic bird of prey, the Iron Eagle represents the soaring aspirations and unyielding determination of the club and its members. Its sharp vision mirrors the club's focus on innovation and excellence, while its resilience embodies the enduring spirit of the automotive community. The four stars in the Fortress logo stand for Fairness, Respect, Care, and Honesty — the core values that drive the organization’s commitment to its members and the broader community.
-Fairness: Every member is treated equitably, regardless of their background, car preference, or level of involvement. This value ensures that the club fosters inclusivity, impartiality in decision making, and opportunities for all members to thrive and contribute.
-Respect: Respect for individuals, their vehicles, and the diverse automotive cultures represented in the club. This includes creating a welcoming environment and ensuring that all interactions, whether online or in person, uphold the highest standards of courtesy.
-Care: Demonstrated through the club’s commitment to its members and the broader community. Care is reflected in the club’s philanthropic activities, mentorship programs, focus on building supportive relationships within the automotive world, and a commitment to safety. This includes ensuring that all club events are sober events, promoting safe driving practices, and encouraging adherence to traffic laws to protect members and the broader community.
-Honesty: A foundation of trust between members, leadership, and the community. Honesty guides the club’s transparency in governance, financial practices, and communication, ensuring a culture of integrity and accountability.
