The desert’s chill hasn’t stopped the engines from warming. The 2026 Starting Line is officially set, and Vegas car culture is about to hit the pavement hard. This isn’t just another meet-up — it’s the kickoff event that shifts the city into high gear for the new year.
📆 Sunday, January 18th | 8–11AM
📍 8359 W Sunset Rd, Las Vegas 89113
No better way to break in January than with coffee, chrome, and conversations that start with “What’s under the hood?” After taking the first Sunday off to wrench and reset (yes, no GEARS on January 4th), the community is back and fully dialed.
Brought to life by @daserbecllctv, the Starting Line is more than just a meetup — it’s a rolling canvas of builds, styles, and stories. You’ll see everything from fresh projects making their debut to seasoned rides getting their annual spotlight.
What to Expect:
Epic roll-ins that span JDM to Euro to classic Americana
New year, new builds — this is the time for reveals
Candid convos between builders, fans, and first-timers
That unmistakable GEARS vibe you can’t replicate
This stretch of W Sunset — not far from the 215, just past the In-N-Out — transforms for one morning only into the unofficial showroom of Las Vegas. Whether you're wrench-deep in a winter build or just here to admire the artistry, the Starting Line is where the community reconnects.
Bring your ride, bring your crew, or just bring good energy — but don’t miss the drop. The engines start at 8AM sharp.
