Car events on SPOOLED span the full enthusiast spectrum — from Saturday-morning cars & coffee meets to professional time-attack rounds.
Curated events (recurring meets, official organizer postings, imported calendars) live at /events/[id]. A small set of older user posts (and events created in the mobile app) are stored as posts instead, live at /event/[id], and surface in the home feed rather than on /events.
What you can find on /events
- Type filtering — 35 event categories grouped into 8 super-categories (see below).
- RSVP / interest — RSVP is on by default, so you can see exactly who's coming before the day of.
- Linked builds — when an attendee's build page is public, it's one click from the event roster.
The 35 categories, grouped
Filtering by category is the fastest way to slice the feed.
Total: 35 categories. If you're organizing something that doesn't cleanly fit, post it under the closest category and use the description to clarify — we're not adding a 36th to chase edge cases.

Live from the events feed — soonest first.
How to find events
- Open /events.
- Narrow to your state, or type a city name into the search box to match events there.
For specific event types — track days, drift events, dyno days, autocross, drag racing — go straight to the named category in the filter pills rather than searching by name. Organizers don't use consistent naming, but they all pick a category from the same list.
Posting your own event
Anyone can post an event. From the compose modal, pick post type Event, fill in the date, location, and category, and it lands in the feed and on the events page. RSVP is on by default — you can see exactly who's coming before the day of, and attendees who link a build get it shown on the roster.
Hosting recurring meets? Reach out and we'll set up a curated event series so it appears as a single ongoing entity rather than a fresh post every week. Useful for cars & coffee organizers and track day groups.
