It was Hot and Sunny at 4:00 as we made our way to the Cruise-In driving
our '61 Corvair. "Mustang Mike" was just parking his rig in the
preferred spot just after we backed into our spot. "Big John" was the
next to roll into the lot. He was in his GT350. Bob came out in the SSR
and parked across from him. Next was Ron, he backed his '61 Caddy into
his favorite spot. Tony & Sharon arrived in "Not Lucy" as the tag on the
front says. Their '62 Corvair and parked next to us. Paul parked his
DeSoto down under his favorite tree. Nicky "Bop" was in his yellow
'Vette in honor of "Corvette Thursday" as the last Thursday of the month
becomes as the Mid Florida Corvette Club comes out in force. Steve Mc
was in his '41 Willys pickup. Ken parked his moving "Car Lot" next to
us. Brent was out in his El Camino. Roy parked his '64 Galaxie
convertible in it's place of honor. Bob parked his '36 Ford Humpback
behind the trailer. Oh, Happy Birthday Dar! Somehow it was omitted from
the list this month, sorry. Bob was out in his Chevelle, Nick followed
him in his '32 Coupe. They parked next to Brent along 13th Street. Dick
was out in the 2+2 Mustang, still working on the overheating problem.
Larry parked his Mustang in that row as well. Dan was seen in the
"Grinster". Jonathan had his dad and most of the family out in the
Camaro. "Bo" had his Corvair parked across from us. John had his Mustang
next to him. Mike, N4HHA, and Kristen were in their '64 Corvair next to
John. Ed & Sarah were in the "Short Box" pickup. Then it got a little
busy, I lost track of the arrivals. John, KG4BFJ, stopped to visit with
the Cruisers. Graham, G4HFG, checked in over the Radio from Manchester,
England.
Lot's of spectators in the lot checking out the cars. Cruiser's to be
amongst them. The night went on as planned. Mike was playing his usual
mix of music. Then about 7:05 the dark clouds that had been lingering in
the distance headed for us. The wind picked up dramatically and Mike
moved the closing up. We did the give a ways in record time. The 50/50
was $100. Kristen Burke, Cruiser #456, had the winning ticket. She
donated $10 back to the Cruise-In and $10 to this newsletter, Thank You.
