🚗 Southern Drive Collective Launches "Off The Clock" – Monthly Car Meet in Whitwell

Automotive enthusiasts in the Sequatchie Valley now have a dedicated monthly gathering space. Southern Drive Collective, the DIY garage and car club on Industrial Pike in Whitwell, is rolling out a new recurring community event designed to bring car lovers together for food, racing, and connection.

📅 What to Expect

“Off The Clock” kicks off the second Friday of every month from 7 to 10 p.m. Eastern. The event combines three core draws: a chance to show off your ride, a coffee bar, food service (including grilled items), and sim racing rigs ready to go. The venue also offers heat – a practical touch for fall and winter gatherings. The first event took place on November 13, 2026.

🏁 Why It Matters for the Community

Monthly car meets fill a social gap for automotive enthusiasts across the region. Unlike one-time shows, recurring events build relationships and give people a reason to plan ahead. For Whitwell and surrounding communities, Southern Drive Collective‘s expansion into hosted events signals growth in the local automotive and hospitality scene. The combination of DIY garage access, coffee, food, and entertainment under one roof creates a multi-generational gathering point – whether you’re a serious gearhead, a casual car fan, or someone looking for a Friday night out. ✌️

Southern Drive Collective is located at 205 Industrial Pike, Whitwell, Tennessee 37397. Events run 7 to 10 p.m. on the second Friday of each month. Attendees are invited to bring their vehicles and join the community.
