At Sandersons Garage, cars aren’t just a passion—they’re family. Founded by Elaine and Jim Sanderson, our small business was born at the drag strip and built around a shared love for racing, creativity, and community.

What began as a custom T-shirt featuring Jim’s 1964 Impala quickly shifted gears into something bigger. After years of cheering him on at the track, Elaine turned her artistic talents into a growing Etsy business, designing bold, nostalgic apparel for classic
car lovers. That creative spark—fueled by roaring engines and racing weekends—ignited the launch of Sandersons Garage, a rebrand of her former shop, Forest Valley Trading.

Today, Sandersons Garage offers custom automotive and novelty-inspired apparel and gifts, each design made with heart, heritage, and horsepower. Whether you’re wrenching in the garage, lining up at the tree, or just
reliving the glory days of muscle cars, we’ve got something for every gearhead.

The drag strip on Long Island’s east end has become more than a place to race—it’s where our family gathers, our stories grow, and our brand thrives. That’s why we’re proud to sponsor Race Track Not Street, a movement
that keeps speed off the streets and where it belongs: the track.

So when you see our banner at the starting line, just know—it’s not just business. It’s personal.
