ABOUT US
WHY THE DETOURISTA EXISTS
The point of this whole thing is to be a source for those looking for more adventures on wheels. Think of it as a “know before you go” guide—highlighting the stories and key details behind the people, places, and events. That means capturing why we travel across the country for a race, wake up at 5 a.m. for coffee in a parking lot, or drive four hours out of the way just to find the perfect stretch of tarmac. We exist to map the joy of being a car and motorcycles enthusiast, because the best stories are always found when you take the detour.
