The SomernitesCruise Team has no plans to include motorcycles at our 2007 events. We would encourage all
motorcycle owners to support and attend BikeNite in Science Hill, KY!

I love Somernites Cruise and go every month. I have heard that you may be adding motorcycles to this years events.
I think that would be great. My two most favorite things together, sounds awsome. If these are not true rumors then I
still plan on being there just like every year in the past. Keep up the good work the only thing that would make it
better would be motorcycles and MORE PICTURES. Can't wait until the first event, by the way when is it?

hey guys i love the car show but i have not been able to return since 02-03 season.I have been building a late
model trans am 1998 to get it ready for the upcoming show.I also would like to ask is their goin to be a show for
bikes this year i have a 2004 GSXR 600 that i built and it matches the car perfect. I know in previous shows you said
no bikes allowed but i think it would bring even more ppl to the show and get some younger crowds involved in the
sport so many of us enjoy ..so Looking forward to seeing the upcoming shows thanks

We really enjoyed the cruises last year. We tried to make every one. I just have one request. Put the Mopar back on
the T-shirts even if it has to be in small print behind the Oval and the Bowtie we would enjoy wearing them again.

Just wanted to say that the Somernites Cruise isthe most awesome thing I have ever experanced. I went twice last
year and cannot wait to get back this year. I would like to see more trips to the Dragstrip is the only suggestion that I
have. You guys are doing a fantastic job and everyone is so very nice and helpful, people in town are great and it is
so wonderful to have someone offer you a bottle of water or even a gatoraide for free! this is unheard of in this day
and time. Once again keep up the good work and me and my family and friends are planning on making as many
trips as we can this year. Jeff Patton

On September 23 was my first time going and it was awesome seeing tons of novas and chevelles and most of all
seeing the chrome engines. This inspired me to continue my dream of opening up my Car modifications shop and
I want to say thank you to all who showed up. Thanks for your time, sincerely Amanda.

This was my second time around to experience the awsome cars and fun time to be had at the car crusie. My wife
and I used to go to tn all the time but this is by far the best. Everyone was so nice and we love the area. There is a
lot to do and see even if you don't want to go to the car show! MY wife loves to fish and rent a boat so we had the
best of both worlds!!! If you haven't been there then I would highly recommend it. Just counting down the days until
sepetmbers crusie is in town again. We started on Friday last time. We don't want to miss anything!!! Thanks to all
who got this going for us to enjoy!!!!

Just finished talking to members of the Tri State F-100 Club in Cin, OH. They had such a good time they will be
back in OCT. This time I will be with them, I have a small mechanical problem, could not make this months run.
When I go in OCT, it will be my second trip this year. All I can say is, make plans for 2007 Power Cruise. You all are
missing a GOOD time. Gil and your crew do a great job, I know it takes alot of work to put this together. Many cars to
see, from all over the U.S.A.

Jumped in the cruise from lexington followed a lot of great looking cars. Great time and free lunch at the school. In
line comeing to downtown to park and my car it quite on me. My buddies that was in front of me parked there cars
and asked some of the staff if there was someone to help me. In a few minutes a couple of the staff showed up to
help me get my car off the rode. I think the guy was name Jim and lady I think was Marsha not for sure of her name.
They know who they are, some great people. He call another guy brought was cables and plyers. Gave me a jump
but still didn't start. He found a screwdriver crossed over the starter and it fired right up. Thanks so much the for the
help. Made my first time there a great one cause I thought I was going to have a tow bill back to Lexington. Thanks
again keep up the great work wonderful show!!! Oh yeh he gave me the screwdriver in case I needed it again.

Hey, I'm 17 and i got to go for the first time to the Somernites Cruise. I HAD A BLAST! It was the most fun I had ever
had looking at a car show. I drove my 79' Camaro down from Floyd co. What I liked the most about Somernites
Cruise is that i got to see alot of cars close up that i normaly wouldn't get to see. The main thing that sets
Somernites Cruise off from all the local shows I'v took my Camaro to is that it's not a contest to win, just go and
show what you've got! I plan on going ever chance i can from here on out!

We are delighted to participate in the First Annual Power Cruise last Saturday. What a wonderful event. We traveled
with the group from Knoxville, and really appreciated the police escort once we drove into KY. Thank you for the
lunch at the school, and the great music downtown! We loved it all! Your volunteers are amazing, and you make it
appear to be so easy. We know better! Just know that we appreciate ALL your hard work and dedication, and we
look forward to participating on a regular basis. We are so impressed with you! Judy & Gordon

First time Somernites Cruiser's here, but nowhere near the last! This event is great! You couldn't as for nicer people
or a more organized event. They have stuff for everyone including the kids. We did the fun run to Mills Springs and
even though it rained off and on all weekend it didn't put a damper on anything! The only thing I think I could suggest
to anyone thinking about coming is make your reservations EARLY!!! God willing we will be back for the cruise in
October. Thanks everyone especially the sponsors.....Oh and dont miss the Bastin's Burnout! Dawn & Barry

Have heard about the 'Somerset thing' for two years. Saturday a friend and I decided to try it in the roadster, threat of
rain or not (all the other 'roadster pilots' from our group wimped out). We were totally blown away. What a great
event! We'll be back and bring the wives. Saw the comments about the 'rice rockets'. I look at them as the 'hot rods'
of today's generation. A "chain-saw sound" coming out of a car doesn't quicken the heartbeat for me like a
thumping, bent 8, but....then the generation before me didn't/doesn't like trashing a classic by making a rod out of it.

We had a "Blast" in June, we come down at least twice a year, the Saturday Mini-cruise is always fun, you guys (and
gals) are the "GREATEST". IMO if the imports want to "Cruise" let them, maybe set a third entrance for them with a
special parking area. My wife (Jean) drove on the Mini-cruise, I was asked "You let her drive your "57 Chevy?", my
reply was "Yes, and sometimes she will let me drive her BMW!"

unique. the chair was sponge bob and the footstool had a cadillac emblem on it. this was a gift to my husband from
our daughter. we were parked across from the four sisters , or four ladies restaraunt. we were near the boy scouts
vender trailer. if found, we will be back for july cruise. we would like to get them back. thanks much .

AS ONE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CRUISE VENDOR COORDINATOR, I HAVE DELT WITH ALL THE
VENDORS AND A LARGE MAJORITY OF OUR SPONSORS, THERE HAS NOT BEEN THE FIRST PERSON MAKE
THE STATEMENT TO ME, "WE DO NOT WANT IMPORTS AT THE CRUISE". SO I DO NOT BELIEVE THERE IS ANY
TRUTH TO THE COMMENT MADE PREVIOUSLY REGARDING THIS ISSUE. RESPECTIVELY, DAVID FLOYD

Look it's your event. If you don't want imports than say so. Looking at pics from previous years I've seen late model
cars. Domestic late model cars. I saw a Saturn, which is not a muscle car or hot rod. So you just don't want imports.
Your call. Just make it CLEAR in the rules. Stop calling them "late models" and call em imports. Your just confusing
people allowing them to drive for hours and then get turned away. If it walks like a duck, call it a duck. Don't
pussyfoot around and try to be politically correct. You waste people's time and gas. Use a little common sense and
we won't clog up your forum with complaints. By the way, I do drive domestic, but you'll never see it at your event.

I left a comment below but I have something else to say. The younger generation is wanting to get involved more
and more in the car/truck scene but it seems that we are not wanted unless we build a hotrod, streetrod, classic,
etc. I would like to be able to bring my future kids to Somernites but if the younger generation keeps getting turned
away then this great cruise in will die. I urge everyone to become more open minded to the new vehicles and the
ways they are customized.

Another great cruise with lots of beutiful CLASSIC American iron . I think these late model import cars should as the
saying goes "Birds of a feather should flock together" and get their own separate week-end event and quit crashing
the original SOMERNITES CRUISE because the majority of participants and sponsors don't care for these rides
around ths event. It's a nostalgia thing and frankly not much nostalgia at the moment for late model Japanese iron.

I guess when all the classics get wrecked, or sold/run down, or just disappear, the entire car scene is supposed to
disappear also? Cause heaven forbid a change happen. Face it, us "newcomers" to the car scene are not here to
take over, we look up and respect everyone with classics, thats what I was raised on. All we are trying to do is fit in
and show what WE do. Sure, your Vettes and Mustangs have huge V8s with hundreds of horsepower, but whats the
feeling in your heart when your pedal is mashed and your staring down the tailpipe of a nice looking Honda,
Nissan, or Toyota?

I think the planning for the Somernites Cruise is great, but need to be more opened minded. I went to the Cruise a
few times last year and on the last trip I made we brought like 10-15 cars and only 4 of us made it in, the rest were
turned away at the gate. I love to look at the classic cars, but I'm into the modern cars scene. I have enough
modifications to get into the show, but have no plans of going back until some of the rules change.... Make all cars
domestic and imoport, new and old have a 3 modification rule, or do away with the rule all together.

Ive been to the show once and actually had a good time despite not being allowed to show my show car by getting
turned away along with 9 of my fellow show team members. It was fun, but its not import car friendly. Any plans to
allow imports into the show or are we gonna be stuck looking at a few nice cars admist a sea of stock camaros
and mustangs? Other than that, great job on the organization of something that large. Having hosted a car show
myself, i cant imagine how much hard work it would take to put that on. Now just let the imports in and ill bring
some cars that will get as much attn as anything there.

Somernites is a great event, and I appreciate all the hard working staff who put it together. I would also like to thank
the cruisers who have been friendly to me. I just wanted to bring up the fact that I have also felt disrespected and
discriminated by some of the other cruisers when I attended the cruise in the past. I have a 1994 Japanesse import
with several modifications, which is classified as a "highly modified late model" according to Somernites rules. I
am a fan of all custom cars and trucks, from classic cars, to hot rods, to lowriders. I know some people are set in
their ways and don't want to see any cars like mine or newer cars and trucks in general at the show, but I think
maybe if you had all the late model vehicles park in one designated area it might work out better for everyone.
Certain models of other cars could also be parked together, like Corvettes, Mustangs, or all muscle cars in one
area. Just an idea that you may have heard or already tried before. O

I have to agree with Del from Danville I also have a fullsize pickup Not taking anything away from the older rides but
as i walked around the show i noticed several hundred young adults that are into modern day vehicles The way i
see it we put our money into fixing up our vehicles just as the older generation has But as far as the cruise goes i
enjoyed it and i plan on being there this month and hopefully many more thanks for putting on a great show and
shine

I finally got to bring my 03 GMC Sierra thats layin frame with a full air ride set up and tuckin 22" Intro Wheels. It was
put out of commission early last year due to an accident (not my fault). I love the show and will be back every
chance I get. The only complaint I have is the disrespect I see for the newer vehicles thats not a stock mustang or
corvette. I never knew this was JUST for domestic made cars/trucks. The show is or should be about ALL vehicles
no matter what make or model. The younger generation wants to show off what they have done as well and if they
keep gettin turned away and put down then the Show scene will go down because of it. I love the classics, street
rods, hotrods, etc, but I also love seeing the new stuff that is tastefully done. One more thing and I'm done. I made it
to Somernites once last year. Parked next to a very nice Chevelle, guess he didnt like me parking next to him. He

I just want to say I love the cruise. It's definitely one of the perks of living nearby. If I could make a suggestion to the
website, I recommend adding more pics to the photo gallery, because you are not putting all the cars on it that are
worthy from what I've seen. thanks

First of all I love what you guys are doing, me and my family come as spectators every chance we get. hopefuly I will
get my old rides in presentable enough and road worthy enough condition to bring some day but for now I was
wandering do you guys get any of the proceeds for that $5.00 parking or is that an individual taking advantage of the
of the oppurtunity? to me that seems like five bucks that could have been spent on your raffle I think it would be
great if you guys could charge the five bucks for parking and give a free raffle ticket for it that would insure that
everybody got a ticket and you would have sold a lot more tickets. thanks and keep up the good work we appreciate
it.

Fantastic! That is what we thought about the cruise and the personnel running the program. This was our first time
ever visiting Somerset and especially attending the cruise. We were a little disappointed about the block party being
canceled on Friday night, but Saturday event made up for and then some. We had a terrific time. The hotel staff told
us where to go to get in line for the Saturday cruise. While we were sitting in line to get in, we met some really nice
people. The gentlemen handing out the brochures on the cruise were very polite. The salsa sampling - delicious - I
can't wait to buy it - hope to get our Walmart to carry it as well. The quality of vehicles, the people, the town, the food
and the hotel all made our trip to Kentucky memorable - well worth the long trip. We will be back, but we will not be
coming alone.

I attended Somernites Cruise for the first time on april 22. I really enjoyed what the crusie had to offer. The only
thing I didnt understand is why there was so much traffic out on 27 when we were in the cruising process. It felt
more like trying to compete with all of the other drivers that was not even in the Show and Shine. Also whats up with
the law? Cant wait till the next cruise!!

April 22nd was our first time to visit the somernitecruise. We were really impressed with all of the cars. The show
was very organized and the staff was very nice, the food was excellent too. We sat beside of Baskins for the
burn-out competition and that was fun also. I do think the strip should be just for the show cars and trucks... if that
could be done!!! We will be there next month with our 1970 GTO Judge so be looking for us. I would love to have a
t-shirt too. Thanks again for the hospitality and can't wait until the May show. Keep up the good work...

Had a great time on the cruise over to London Wal-Mart was literally too cool !Appreciated Doug Martin's hospitality
too !!Saturday nite we set out and watched from Marathon's lot across from Cracker Barrell and Gen.Y'ers swarmed
the place and were so rude about throwingi garbage and trash we were embarassed and split early .I also noticed
these rude punks appear to have hijacked the intent of the founding cruisers by racing up and down 27 on their
Sport Bikes and Honda Preludes.I don't think people line up to watch this nonsense, they want to see AMERICAN
classics !!

on the last cruise of the year i finally talked my brother into bringing his cobra to somerset. when we got to the
downtown area it was hard for me to get around because of a heart condition. the fellows in the golf carts were
lifesavers. they came by several times to see if i needed anything and where a big help to my brother since he was
a first timer. my brother dale has been to alot of car shows as a observer and now as a car owner and said this one
the best run and one of the larges shows he has evver been to! please keep up the good work bobbie

Just wanted to tell you guy's what a great time we had at the cruise. I have shown cars all over the eastern coast for
30 years and Somernites cruise surpasses any event I have ever been to. The people are so friendly and
helpful!The cars & trucks are great, there is always an event going on somewhere for any age.I would highly
reccomend Somernites Cruise to any one or club. P.S. The businesses do not take advantage of the visitors. Look
foward to a return trip with some more nice rides next season. James, Rosa & Cody.

event. I have a lot of respect for events that don't discriminate based on the vehicles age. I look forward to coming
back next year. My 2000 Chevy S-10 lowrider was well recieved. Thanks #8135

Wow ! What an exciting and fun filled weekend, from the kickoff on the Courthouse steps.....to standing in the rain at
the burnouts. It is a pleasure to witness a well organized event of such size that encourages family and community
participation . I am looking forward to attending my third cruise weekend in October. Thank You Somernites Cruise.

be possible without all of you, but the (guys in the yellow shirts) must truly enjoy what they do, because you will
never see a sour face or hear a cross word out of them. They organize us, direct us, happily answer our questions
and have stood out in some of the worst heat all day making sure every thing is going smooth and that every one
feels welcome. so.. (THANK YOU GUYS) You are appreciated. jennifer & rick

Wished they had a car show back then. Of course most of the cars you show now were new then. Hope to see the

Thanks for all your hard work For the Somernites Cruise. The June event was awesome as usual and i was finally
able to stay for the after show cruise. i was a little dissapointed though thanks in part to flashing blue lights. I would
like to remind people that a few displays of reckless driving is all that the authorities are waiting for to ruin the party
for us all.I can only hope that the staff is making a hefty donation to the police auxilary fund before Horsepower TV
gets there in August. And might I suggest a kiddie cruise for those not quite ready to run with the Big Boys! ( Just
Kidding)

Just got back from another great SOMERNITES CRUISE. Had a great time as always. Whoever came up with the
idea to have a mini cruise-in on Friday night at Walmart deserves a big pat on the back!! What a fantastic alternative
to the burn out contest. Had a great time there also, will definitely be back. I know a lot of work goes into this cruise.
The people who help with the organization of this event are constantly thanking us for coming down and making
this cruise possible. Well, I would like to say to each and every one of the committee, THANK YOU!!!!!! There would
be no SOMERNITES CRUISE without you and I'm sure all the guys and gals that came down with us feel the same.
Keep up the good work. We really appreciate your time and effort. We will continue to take part in the BIGGEST
CRUISE-IN that we have ever been a part of as often as we can.

Hey guys, what happened to the cruise around town before heading out to Rt. 27? This is our third summer to
come to the cruise-in and we always enjoyed cruising town. Sure missed it this month. I'm sure you had to change
it because someone who doesn't enjoy the cruise-in had some silly complaint. Do the residents realize the
revenue this one weekend brings into your town? But of course, I'm sure they enjoy the money it brings to town, just
not the people. Other than the few disgruntled residence, we think Somerset is a great place. As long as you have
the cruise-ins, we will keep coming. You guys do a GREAT job!!! If we could, we would try and talk the whole
management team into relocating to Winchester and do for us what you've done for Somerset!! Thanks Guys

blew a transmission line on entering the waiting line to park. What a mess; and, no ability to drive. Yellow shirts
helped rescue us, covered the fluid with absorbtion granules, and escorted our car to a parking spot. We will be

The Somernites Cruise members are a very helpful, courteous and knowledgeable group. They were determined
to ensure that my car and family were back on the road. I want to thank you very much. I especially want to thank one
Cruise member, Rodney, who was very helpful and drove me to get the needed parts for the repair. I am confident
when you are in Somerset and need help, all you have to do is find a guy or gal in a yellow Somernites Cruise
member shirt, and you will have it. Thank you very much.

I was watching Horsepower TV today (Sunday 13 Mar) and they re-ran the episode last year showing the
Somernights Cruise. Great advertisement for the Somernites Cruise organization. I have attended the cruise many
times and always look forward to the next one in April. Keeping my fingers crossed for Sunshine and Clear Skies.

I would like to thank the promotors for SomerNites for not listening to people like Sam Wilson who are trying to
make car shows a thing of the past. If we don't start giving some recognition to the up and coming generations, car
shows and cruises are going to DIE. People, as well as automobiles are aging every day. Every day there are a
couple or so people who just don't feel like getting up that morning and working on their classic Chevy. Every day
there are a few more cars that rust down on the sides of rural roads. The people who now drive these "classic" cars
once upon a time drove modern cars and fixed them up as well. If they were discouraged as much as the current
generation is from showing and cruising, then they might not would be showing and cruising even as we speak.
Please don't kill something that has lasted for generations. Parents once upon a time ENCOURAGED their kids to
get out and enjoy automobiles with them...what has happened to change that? Remember th

Hey-just wanted to let you all know that my wife and I had a GREAT time at the Oct cruise (even though it rained a
little) I would also like to thank everyone including participants we met for the hospitality shown us. We actually had
fun from the banquet to the cruise especially the drive through your hills to the coal mine. My wife and I along with
friends put on a small show for ten years here at home and we know how much work it takes to do what you do. I
hope that Somerset appreciates your efforts as much as we do. By the way, we kept track of the miles home and
they were 625..(we want to thank you for the handmade long distance award we got it - was really special) We plan
to attend again and hope to be able to convince some of the other Michiganders we know to come as well..I also
hope that the guys from Ohio that were driving the late model Chevelles will e-mail us on some info for the one we
are building for our grandson..it was great meeting and talking with

This was our second cruise (first was in July) but the first to go on the fun run. It was great!! The people we met at
the meet and greet on Friday were awsome and made us feel important. We were not planning to go to the dinner,
but decided to go and really enjoyed it. We also want to thank the people that stopped to check on us when our 442
quit on us during the run. We will be back next year!! Keep on Cruzin!!

Hey Guys, It's hard to believe that there's only one more cruise this year. You all have done a fantastic job. This is
our third year to attend and it just keeps getting better and better. The program for the September cruise was great.
Hope the city of Somerset realize what a great group they have in the Management Team for the cruise-in. We have
made a lot of wonderful friends since we started coming. We're really looking forward to the banquet in October,but
we hate to see the cruise season end. You guys are great!!

Made it to the July cruise. Let me tell you it was worth the 1400 mile trip. I wish I were closer so I could make it every
month. Best cruise I have ever been to by far. Unbelievable efforts to be commended to the Somernites crew.
Thanks for keeping us gearheads happy. Just to let you know I am a member of the infamous "Greazy Hubcaps"

Tis message goes out to all my Somernites Cruise friends and the management team. I have been attending the
Hot Rod Sunday church services since they started. These services are both fun and inspirational. There is also a
FREE lunch after the service and a showing off of all the classic cars that are there. If you have never been to one of
the services, believe me you are missing out. Please try to attend in the future...you'll always be glad you did.

The Somernite Cruise just gets bigger all the time. I feel that a change of location will eventually be necessary to
allow people to easilly access to the show. I am positive that this will eventually happen or will happen very soon.
Also, I fell that vehicles at least 20 years old should only be allowed in the event. After all, it is a basically a huge
classic car show. Keep up the great work.

I would like to personally commend the Somernites Cruise Team for the outstanding job they do in the presentation
of their monthly Cruises. I attend all the Major Car Shows and Car Events in the South Central United States and
nowhere have I seen these type events conducted as smooth and professional as is done by the Somernites
Cruise Team. This once a month event is fast becoming a Major Event. I predict by seasons end this Event will see
car registerations approaching the 2000 mark.I truly support and recomend this event. For those of you whom
would like to see more pics of this Cruise please visit www.hotrodhotline.com And if I failed to get a pic of your car, I
will be back on May 22, 2004, you be there, look me up and I will get your car published on World Wide Internet.
Thats my promise to you, now call all of your Hotrod Buddies and plan to attend. See you there. Jack Roberts

say that you guys are extremely organized and my Saturday drive was well worth it. Lots of very nice cars. I will be

We came to the October and the July show - and Great it was. And the weather was beautiful. Your show is so well
organized and we have enjoyed just having a seat at a street corner and watching the cars come into the show
area. And then we walk around to see those we missed. We also enjoyed talking with some of the car
owners!Keep up the good work. We will be back next year for sure!

The Somernite Cruise is one of the best organized cruises I have been to in Ky. The selection of vehicles is
unbelievable for a small community to have assemlbled month after month, again an indication that the event is a
class act! I have attended several times and even made the photo gallery in August 2003 with my 67 Lemans.
Thanks for displaying my ride on the site. Looking forward to Somernite Cruises in 2004!

I just went to the show for the first time with my car, a 2year project that i built from the ground up. Not only did i get
lucky enough to get a spot on the square downtown, but i just checked out the pictures and there was my 40
plymouth tail lights heading out of town for the cruse. Thanks for the hard work that it takes to put on a show of this
kind, and to all the police and firemen . Well done .

SomerNites Cruise is alot of fun. We attend every month that we can. My friends and I love cars, and when we found
out about SomerNites Cruise, we knew it was the event for us. SomerNites Cruise holds alot of our memories.
That's where we found the best friendship and it's also where I first fell in love.

We really enjoyed the August cruise-in. We drove up from Lincolnton, NC, in my 64 Nova. The total mileage was
about 800 miles and we had a blast. I hope to come back again. If not this year, for sure next year. Keep up the
good work.

Thanks for a fun 5K. The organization, the volunteers, and the course were terrific. I particularly enjoyed running
through the water mist provided by the Fire Dept.! Some of your runners gave me an entry form for this event while
they were in Knoxville for a run. This worked out great for us, as my husband has a car that he was happy to bring
and show. The run gave me something to do while he did his car thing. At tonight's meeting of our local Mustang
club, my husband will be encouraging all members to partake of your cruise, as he thought very highly of the event.
The Somerset runners I have previously met in Tennessee are an exceptional bunch, but I also have to say that
everyone we have met while in Somerset was very friendly and courteous and fun. You need to be very proud of your
5K run and your cruise and your community. We'll be back. PLEASE continue the 5K runs!

Cruise up 27 at the end of the show. I hope that this activity can stay active for a long while and can grow larger.

Hey, just wanted to tell you that me and all my friends that came down in june for the cruise-in had a great time. We
alway's have a great time when we climb in our old cars and hot rods and cruise down to somernite's cruise-in.
This june fun run before the cruise-in at the dragstrip was {great!!!!!!!} Hope you plan another one later this year. I
had my 82 olds cutlass down there and got down to the time on my time slips as low as 8.05 in the 1/8 after i
figured out not to fire on it out of the hole wide open. Needed some slick's on it. Maybe next time i will bring some if
you have another one and all my friends want to go back if you plan on going back this year. Well, we'll be watching
for info of another one and thanks for a great time. {cut-lus} KEEP CRUISN!!!!! L.P.

I think having the cars mixed is the best part of the cruise. If you had the cars seperated then people would miss out
on seeing all the different makes of cars that are out there. I say you have a great show and keep doing what your
doing.

Wow !! June was a dozie. I walked, and walked and walked. What a show. As always, you guys did a great job
pulling it off. The last count I had was 1,045 participants. If you want to relax and get plenty exercise at the same
time (LOL), don't miss the July event. We usually come over with our son, Robby who has a black 98' Mustang with
flames he designed & I painted. Car has 28,000 actual. Look us up at the show & shine. C- ya'.

I think it would be nice if the vehicles were put into diferent catagories, the new American automobiles 1990 and up
be parked in one area, the Imports be placed in another area, and the older cars under 1990 be placed together.
Thanks Ginger

I have attended every show since August of last year with my papaw's 1936 Ford Coupe street rod. It's black with
flames (very sharp). It is a very great show and well organized. I was very surprised with the last show, having over
1000 cars. I will be back for all the other shows to come. Keep up the good work guys.

June 2003 was my first visit to the cruise, it was the most awesome well organized event I have visited. With over
1000 cars and thousands of spectators truly made an enjoyable evening. Looking forward to the next event.
Congratulations Guys.

i think that this kind of event is great for families to get together and older people to look back on the memories that
they had in those days. i love it because my family puts our 1973 Ford Mustang (Mach 1) and see spectators stop
and look. i just can't believe that people from California come to this event.

I'm a 16 year old from Somerset. I really enjoy coming to the show. i look forward to showing my 1981 Mustang
Notchback soon. (still looking for many parts). i think there should be a big swap meet for parts. and i also think that
the cars should be seperated, for example: mustangs with mustangs, camaros with camaros, etc... thanks.!
