In 1994 with co-sponsor, the city of Moncton, they hosted the Canadian Street Rod Nationals, known as Canats 94. This was the largest and most successful car show in Atlantic Canada at that time. It brought cars from all over Canada and parts of the USA. Through this, the Club received well-deserved national and international recognition.
