Ravenna Rumble

Posted on: November 22nd, 2016 by Tricia Krause

Every year Mongoose Motorsports hosts a huge car cruise that is the biggest attraction the City of Ravenna has.  It is called Octane Nights Celebrate Portage.  We shut State Route 59 down from in front of our building down the hill, spanning 1/4 mile.  We’ve had over 1,000 classic cars in attendance with thousands of spectators.  The attendance of our show has grown since we starting this event in 2014.  This year we tried something new that we called “The Ravenna Rumble” where all the cars started their engines at the same time.  It was a pretty amazing site to see……and hear!!  We know winter is upon us but we want you to know our 4th Annual Octane Nights Celebrate Portage is already in the works!!  Make sure you like our facebook page called “Octane Nights” for more information to come!

3rd Annual Celebrate Portage Octane Nights On Main Street 2016

Posted on: October 26th, 2016 by Tricia Krause

Have you heard about our HUGE car show that we host once a year?  We close State Route 59 down for 1/4 mile.  This picture was taken this year in between 3 major downpours.  Mother Nature didn’t cooperate with us this year and we still had 860 cars participate.  Cars that don’t come out in the rain; came out in the rain!!  It rained on and off all day – the cars kept coming AND they STAYED all night, not to mention we had thousands of spectators in attendance.  We will be releasing the 2017 date soon……stay tuned!!

Another Satisfied Customer

Posted on: May 27th, 2016 by Tricia Krause

Some people may not understand the sentimental value of a vehicle like others do.  We repainted this car for our customers Jack & Pat who have a very touching story behind their Mustang.  Today they came to the shop to take their baby home.  Their reaction to seeing the car was priceless.

2016 Piston Powered Auto Rama

Posted on: March 22nd, 2016 by Tricia Krause

We would like to thank everyone who came out to support both Mongoose Motorsports & Portage Trim at the Piston Powered Auto Rama.  Mongoose Motorsports unveiled a Grand Sport Corvette we built for our client Mike, who came all the way from Texas to the show to see if for the first time.  Our clients George, his son George & his son Zack (GGZ) took home a First Place trophy with their 1969 Chevelle that Portage Trim did the interior in.  We would like to thank Chris for displaying his 1956 Chevy Wagon, Marcus for displaying his 1994 Kenworth, Elliot for displaying his custom motorcycle and Aaron for bringing his TA2Camaro Race Car to display in our booth.  Keep your eye on his name because he’s going to be the next up and coming race car driver!!  Needless to say, both of our booths were very busy all weekend.   We had a very successful show!!  It’s going to be a busy year for both Mongoose Motorsports & Portage Trim!!  Thank you – Thank you – Thank you!!
