The Georgia Tech Ramblin' Reck Parade, a long-standing Tech Homecoming tradition, is sponsored by the Ramblin' Reck Club. The parade originates from an automobile road race created in 1929 by the Technique to determine which Tech student had the best old car. By 2000, the parade had three separate categories for entries: classic car, fixed body (floats), and contraption.
