The Flaming Knights MC was founded in New Haven, CT on April 27, 1968. FKMC quickly spread through out the east coast, then around 1993/1994, Johnnie Ringo came out to the west coast where he founded Southern California.
In 2009, Sir GAT brought the fire north to Sacramento from San Diego Castle #8, and resurrected Castle #38 on July 3rd, 2010. North Fire became Nor Cal in 2011. Nor Cal later split into Oakland Castle #51, Antioch Castle #53, and Castle #38 became Capital City. Capital City returned to the original name of Nor Cal in 2020.
