What a night....

[67 'Stang Lover]

All,

What a great turnout. I will get the final word from Linda @ City of Mesa next week. She meets with the 'Higher Up's' next week and will give me an update on how it went. This was a 'Reunion for sure. Joni and I saw a lot of friends from a long time ago. From the unofficial count there were well over 1,000 cars down there last night. Chris, '67 red fastback, and I drove around a while and checked all of the overflow lot's and there were people there just showing and not cruising. There were a couple of times when we displayed how much horsepower we have but the Mesa P.D. were very understanding and polite. It never got out of hand though. It was great seeing everybody from the CMC down there as I don't get to go to the Monthly Meetings on a regular basis. The CMC had the best spot on Main so thanks to Paige for doing that for us. We were there until almost 11 pm. If and when they have it next time it will be better since the City will have a budget for advertising it, etc. I will update the Thread next week as well when Linda gets back with me. Thanks for everything.

It was a great night and I just want to thank all the people involved in organizing this cruise and the hard work making this happen. It was great seeing all the CMC clan again and it was fun seeing friends again and hanging out with you all.
This was such a success I don't see any reason why this can't happen again next year and many years to come.
Seeing all the spectators watching us race our engines and doing little burn outs really was a joy to see. I could tell that the people watching were getting thier time worth spent out in Mesa.

2bav. . .DUH on my part. Thanks. Now you guys (Mesa) is doing this once a month? Some how, some way I am going to get my car out there next time. HEY. . .maybe we could do this in downtown Glendale? lol. . .yeah. . .not the same thing!

Enjoy it guys/gals!

Next year???

The newspaper said you guys were going to do this once a month? Or is that a come see the businesses (minus the cars) once a month???

The City of Mesa has what is called 'Friday Night Out' and it is on the 2nd Friday of every month. It is designed to boost business in downtown Mesa. Yesterday was the "Car Show/Cruise Reunion" Friday Night out. This will be an annual event for the Cruise but it might be a semi-annual event depending on if the City of Mesa allows it. I hope this helps. The reason why it works in Mesa for the Cruise is because it actually happened from the 60's all the way through the early 80's. This was the 25th anniversary of it being shutdown (1982).

Friday 11/9/07 was a night to remember. I was glad to see my friends who were all there and just to hang out and cruise our Hot Rods and seeing all other radical cars out there really brought back some memories of my own.
I think Mesa would be making a mistake not to have this event again!

Looking forward to the March cruise. The cruise was "Badical" (80's lingo)

[1rad67]

Yes, I can't wait until March either. Who knows, we might have a even better turn out in March? See you there!
