If you're not familiar with FuelFest, it is a traveling celebration of horsepower, music, and family, that debuted in 2019, with nine stops in 2025 across the U.S. and in Japan.  Created by Cody and Felicia Walker (brother and sister-in-law of Paul), with contributions from the "Fast & Furious" movie universe, among others,  FuelFest is multi-cultural, multi-generational event, featuring cars of all types, from home builds to hypercars.   So far this year, they've drawn 500 cars and 10K folks in Tampa, nearly 1000 cars and 20K folks in West Palm, and 500 cars and 9K folks in Atlanta and in the Bay Area! 

And for the first time, FuelFest is being held at the Fairplex at Pomona, complete with drifting and drag racing!
