Scr8pfest 25
The end of an era came in full force as Scr8pfest 25 rolled into Newton, North Carolina on September 21, 2024. Hosted by the legendary Pebble Pushers, this wasn’t just any show—it was the 25th and final Scr8pfest, and the club’s 30th anniversary. With emotions high and memories flooding in, this one was all about going out with a bang.
One Final Thank You
From the get-go, Pebble Pushers made it clear—this was it. After 25 amazing shows and decades of dedication to the scene, they wanted to give everyone a chance to make one last memory. They said it best: “We can’t thank everyone enough for the support over the last 25 years.” And the turnout proved just how much this show meant to people.
A Little Heat, A Lotta Heart
Yes, it was hot as hell. Yes, the bees were out in full force. But that didn’t stop people from showing up—and showing out. Folks came from all over the country, bringing out builds that hadn’t seen daylight in years. You could feel the love for the scene in every corner of the lot.
Old-School Vibes & New-School Builds
It was a killer mix—mini trucks from the 80s and 90s, freshly finished builds, and wild customs that turned heads all day long. Every truck told a story, whether it was rocking old-school graphics or state-of-the-art suspension.
There was something for everyone:
-
Top 50 Awards to honor the best of the best
-
Specialty Awards for creativity, uniqueness, and club pride
-
A classic low car limbo that had people duckin’ under and cheering loud
-
And of course, audio/bass competitions that rattled the ground
A Show for the Books
Scr8pfest 25 had all the elements of a proper send-off. The vibe? Pure family reunion. The vehicles? Showstoppers. The memories? Unmatched.
It wasn’t just about the trucks—it was about a community saying goodbye to a show that helped shape the custom car scene for a quarter of a century. Pebble Pushers left their mark, and this final chapter was written loud, low, and proud.
Here’s to Scr8pfest. One last time. One we’ll never forget.
