The Bitterroot Valley of Montana is well known for its natural beauty, its abundant wildlife, the spectacular Bitterroot river and as the home of the Bitterrodders Car Club. The club, formed in 1997, is a family-oriented group of car enthusiasts, generally interested in Street Rods, Hot Rods and Classic Muscle Cars, although we welcome car enthusiasts of all kinds.

We host a number of collector car events during each year, with the goal of providing a fun, safe, family -friendly environment to share and enjoy our passion for the automobile. The Club uses the monetary proceeds from our events to help the needy in our community, particularly children's charities.

Our longest-running event is the car show we hold each year in conjunction with the Daly Days celebration in Hamilton, Montana. The Daly Days Show and Shine event is a very large part of the weekend festivities celebrating the founder of the town of Hamilton, Marcus Daly. The weekend also includes a large Farmers Market and Craft Faire, a Brew Festival, a Downtown Sidewalk Sale, and an evening Street Dance

We are in our third year of a partnership with Mildenberger Motors of Hamilton, in hosting a charity benefit show and shine event at the Mildenberger dealership. This has developed into a very popular car show, with music, food, raffle prizes and tons of awards for the participants. This show has generated a lot of money for Emma's House, a children's emergency shelter in our area.

The Rumble in the 'Root is a charity benefit Rod Run held each fall. The spectacular drive through the Bitterroot Valley, as well as the good food, games and fun along the way make this one of the largest Rod Runs around, with many participants making this the recurring highlight of their season.

Happy motoring!
