Gearheads, mini-truckers, and car culture fans gathered under the Southern California sun for Unfinished Business 2024, a must-attend automotive event that took place on June 1st at The Derby Room in Perris, So Cal. Hosted by the legendary Chris DeNardo of Al & Ed’s Autosound Escondido, this year’s show proved once again why Unfinished Business is a staple in the SoCal custom scene.
A Showcase of Custom Excellence
With over 150 custom vehicles on display, from slammed trucks to show-quality imports and classics, Unfinished Business 2024 brought the heat. The show featured 25 “Best Of” categories and Top 30 awards, giving builders and enthusiasts a chance to earn recognition for their hard work and creativity.
Club Honors and Community Vibes
Two standout clubs stole the spotlight this year:
-
Club Participation Award: Seductive Mini’s rolled in deep and showed massive presence, securing the well-deserved title.
-
Lowest Club Award: No Regrets proved once again that their suspension game is unmatched.
These clubs, along with dozens of other groups and solo builders, contributed to the electric atmosphere filled with camaraderie, creativity, and shared passion.
Giving Back: 50/50 Raffle for Promises 2 Kids
One of the highlights of the day wasn’t just the cars—it was the special 50/50 raffle held to support the Promises 2 Kids Foundation. This San Diego-based nonprofit supports children who have been removed from abusive environments, offering hope, healing, and opportunities for a brighter future. The raffle helped raise awareness and funds, reminding everyone that car culture is as much about heart as it is horsepower.
Why Unfinished Business 2024 Stands Out
What makes Unfinished Business unique isn’t just the quality of vehicles—it’s the tight-knit community, the cause, and the overall vibe. Hosted at the iconic Derby Room in Perris, the venue provided a laid-back but vibrant setting perfect for a full day of automotive appreciation.
From the slamming sound systems to the flawless paint jobs and custom fabrication, every corner of the show delivered visual and auditory thrills.
