About

MiniMod Garage

San Diego, California

We are a San Diego-based Mini 4WD brand built from the ground up by racers, for racers. MiniMod Garage exists to grow the hobby, celebrate the culture, and create a space where anyone — from first-timers to veterans — can compete with pride.

Our Story

MiniMod Garage started with a simple idea: Mini 4WD deserves a serious home in San Diego. What began as a small group of passionate racers quickly grew into a community built on shared love for the hobby, Japanese racing culture, and the thrill of competition.

We organize events, build community, and push the boundaries of what Mini 4WD can look and feel like in the modern era. The Alpha Cup is our flagship event — a celebration of everything we stand for.

We're not just a race organizer. We're a brand. A movement. A garage full of people who believe that small cars can carry big dreams.

“Run With Integrity.”

What We Stand For

Racing Culture

We take the sport seriously. Every event we run is designed to feel premium, competitive, and worth showing up for.

Beginner-Friendly

Everyone starts somewhere. We actively welcome new racers and create space for growth at every skill level.

Integrity

We race clean. We build fair. We hold ourselves and our community to a standard of honesty and respect.

Creativity

Mini 4WD is an art form. We celebrate builders, customizers, and anyone who brings their own style to the track.

Family Atmosphere

This hobby is for everyone. We build events and spaces where families, friends, and solo racers all feel at home.

Growing the Hobby

We're invested in the long game. Every event, every post, every racer we welcome is a step toward a stronger Mini 4WD scene in San Diego and beyond.

The Scene We're Building

Mini 4WD has a rich history rooted in Japanese racing culture, anime, and the spirit of DIY engineering. MiniMod Garage is bringing that energy to Southern California — blending the precision of motorsport with the creativity of streetwear and the community of esports.

We're building something real. Come race with us.
