The Road is the Event

The field is small. The route is not. Registration is filling.

The best car events don't ask you to stand still. SHIFT, the road rally presented by Artomobilia, is built entirely around motion. On May 2, a curated group of drivers sets out from Silo Auto Club in Indianapolis, welcomed by Mike Simmons and the Silo team, and spends the day doing exactly what these cars were made to do: move.

The route winds through some of the best roads Indiana has to offer. It is not a race. It is not a parade. It is a day of intentional driving through landscapes that most people pass at highway speed and never really see. The conversation at the start line is good. The conversation at the finish is better. What happens in between is the reason people come back.

One of the stops along the way is The Club at Putnam Park, a motorsports country club built around a 1.8-mile, 10-turn road course in Putnam County. Chris Diasio and the team there have built something genuinely worth visiting, a private facility with real infrastructure and a membership culture that fits this crowd well. Arriving mid-rally, in a car that earned the trip, is exactly the kind of moment SHIFT is designed around.

The field is intentionally small. That is not a limitation. It is what makes the day work. A smaller group moves better, connects more naturally, and creates a different kind of experience than a large-format event can offer. Most participants know the people around them by the end of the afternoon. That kind of connection is hard to manufacture, and SHIFT does not try to. It just makes room for it.

Registration is filling. If SHIFT has been on your radar, now is a good time to reach out.

Join us for SHIFT on May 2.
