About Us
SpeedGate Motorsports is a team of amazing people who create and host high quality automotive shows, compete in various types of motorsport events, and foster safe, family friendly environments for people attending our events. Our goal is to provide like-minded, quality car enthusiasts with an environment that supports them and promotes growth. We emulate this in our events and strive to give back to the community that supports us.
Our Creation
SpeedGate was officially founded at the beginning of 2020 by Founder Zach Melissas and Co-founder Patrick Stanford. We began talking about starting our own car enthusiast group in mid to late 2019. We witnessed the failure of other local car groups time and time again. It was the most frustrating thing we had ever experienced as real car enthusiasts. We knew we could do better at creating and bringing something amazing to the local scene, and that is exactly what we set out to achieve.
