Nothing captures “cool” quite like a collection of classic cars, meticulously restored to their original glory. Eric and Lisa Minor, owners of MAC Speed & Custom, launched this custom car show nearly a decade ago in Yorba Linda. What began as a small gathering for car enthusiasts has transformed into one of the hottest tickets in town.
“Big Wednesdays” attracts an increasing number of classic cars, trucks & hotrods, making it a highlight of the week for many locals. Big Wednesdays are FREE and have featured classic cars valued in the hundreds of thousands, attracting collectors and showcasing automotive history and craftsmanship.
The event features exciting raffles, cash prizes, and enticing food and drink specials from businesses in The Packing House Square, creating a lively atmosphere for attendees.
A standout aspect of the show is the unique, hand-built trophy crafted from old engine parts. Other weekly awards include those given by local businesses, each of whom has the opportunity to be a sponsor of the show and present a custom award to their favorite vehicle.
Visitors and participants have the opportunity to vote for the “People’s Choice” trophy, engaging everyone in the festivities.
Recently, “Big Wednesdays” received formal recognition from the Yorba Linda Chamber of Commerce, marked by an official ribbon-cutting ceremony at their new location in The Packing House. This significant event was attended by Mayor Tara Campbell, City Council Members, Legislative Representatives, chamber members, and local residents, highlighting the show’s growing importance within the community.
“MAC Speed & Custom is a classic car and hot rod shop in Fullerton, specializing in everything from upgrades to complete rebuilds,” says MAC’s Grant Romancia. The Minors have established a solid reputation in the classic car world, and many of the car owners showcasing their vehicles at Big Wednesdays are loyal customers of MAC.
In addition to MAC Speed & Custom fostering a vibrant community event, the Packing House businesses have reported an uptick in foot traffic and sales on Wednesdays, thanks to the show’s popularity.
We invite all classic car fans, enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a fun evening to join us at the Packing House Center on Wednesday nights from 5 PM to 7 PM!” https://www.macspeedandcustom.com/
