IN 1957 A GROUP OF GUYS IN BALTIMORE MD STARTED A CAR CLUB CALLED THE KARB KINGS.MEMBERS DROVE BOTH CUSTOM CARS AND "STOCKERS". (FOR THE UNINITATED, STOCKERS ARE CARS AS THEY CAME FROM THE SHOW ROOM. CUSTOMS ARE HOW THE OWNER THINKS THE CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN BUILT-LOW SLUNG, CHOPPED ROOF, FLAMED PAINT JOB, ETC) THE KARB KINGS WERE LOOSELY RUN, BUT THERE WAS ONE RULE: THE GUY WITH THE FASTEST CAR GOT TO BE PRESIDENT. IN 1961 THE FASTEST CAR BELONGED TO BILL SNEED FOUNDER OF THE KARB KINGS. EVENTUALLY, KARB KINGS MEMBERS DRIFTED APART AND THE CLUB SLID INTO - NEUTRAL UNTIL 1995 THATS WHEN TIM SNEED, BILLS SON, DECIDED TO REV UP THE FORMER CLUB AND RETURN TO THE OLD TRADITIONS. TODAY THE CARS ARE STILL 50'S/60'S STYLE CUSTOMS AND ARE STILL WORKED ON BY CLUB MEMEBERS. THE KARB KINGS HAVE STARTED A NEW CHAPTER IN FREDERICKSBURG VA THE PRESIDENT OF THE VA CHAPTER JAY PADGETT WENT TO THE MD KARB KINGS CAR SHOW ( THE MOB TOWN GREASE BALL ) AND FROM THEN ON HE HAD TO SOMEHOW BECOME A KARB KING. WHAT BETTER WAY THEN TO START A NEW CHAPTER IN VA. THE KARB KING OF VA PROMOTE THE HOTROD & THE KULTURE THAT GOES WITH IT, WE ARE INTO HOTRODS, ROCKABILLY MUSIC & CRUISIN.
