Cruise in Mesa 08'

[AZSonicSnake]

gotta agree with dave on that one! i was very happy with where we were. we had our own stang celebration! i personally would have not changed anything about that. i liked being able to hang out with all my good friends and what not. and plus we were still on the main drag and what not. good times.

falcongtho- is there an event in that time frame that we could piggy back? as the friday night thing we will just have a few lanes reserved with the normal friday night drags so far as i know..

JACO I don't remember the set up on main, maybe you could get a couple of clubs assigned to places between berge and the heart o the cruise and create more a reason to expand the cruise?

67 excellent first post...but you went left of center on the Central Cruise. Pedestrians weren't getting hit, though you are right it wasn't shut down because of burnouts...they put light rail into downtown and the streets are still MASSIVELY torn up because of it. In fact...cruising left from Park Central down to America West Arena the last year and the city helped close those streets...they wouldn't have done that if there were lawsuits.

Good urban legend though...:)

I had a good time at this one. I also did not mind being at the end, it was nice being able to all park together. In Nov, there were only around 15 or so spots at Posh Nosh and, although it was really cool being right in the middle of the cruise, being split up kind of took some wind out of the CMC sails. It was also cool to have an entire row of SVT vehicles lined up at Berge. We also got to see pretty much every car as they turned around right in front of us.

Blown66,
Before you call my post an 'Urban Legend' you might want to do some research. It was in the newspaper that the main reason the City of Phoenix shut the Cruise down on Central a couple of years ago was because of people getting injured while crossing the street, etc. It was a safety issue. You can surmise from that info that there were plenty of lawsuits stemming from these accidents. I did my own research and confirmed this info with a lot of Businesses and People in Drag Racing /Cruising Advocates/AAHC/Car Hobbyists, etc.
My only point of bringing that up was because The Cruising on Central Reunion was not shut down because of Drag Racing and/or doing burnouts like posted earlier. The Cops were not overly strict on that until the end. They just handed out tickets to those people involved. I attended every one of the Cruises for 4 years, twice a year in March and October. Just like I have attended both events in Downtown Mesa on Main St. In November and this past one in March. I have seen what goes on firsthand and no not relied on Rumor or Urban Legend. Thanks and have a nice day...................

I didn't mind the Berge location, it was nice to be able to clear the traffic for a while and chat with the "Cobra crew". I just have to figure out for the next cruise how to rig my car with flames coming out of the hood extractors while cruising

I got an email from Linda at POP. She is not about to give up and has dreams of building the event to something like the Woodward Dream Cruise http://www.woodwarddreamcruise.com/About.html

I think she will be looking for help from the clubs for the next go around.
