Wednesday's weather is calling for clear skys. High of 70 and low of 59 degrees. I can drop the top again and not even put on the heat



Great night for a cruise in. Anyone got a portable dyno?

Well, I finally made it out there!
Was working in the area and realized, hey! just another hour till "show time!" so I parked my ride in the rear as promised, behind a big azzed F250 4x4, and went inside.

When I got there, it looked like a Camaro gathering.
Then the Vettes started making thier appearance, leading the way of course was Phil in a beautiful convertible

All in all it was a very nice turn out. Weather was a bit chilly to stand/sit outside, so we made our way inside to the tables.

Good drinks, food, view, what can I say?
It was a "Hoot!"
If we could transport it to the waterfront, hell, I'd never leave

I ran into some friends I've never met, and saw some I've known for a long time but lost contact with.
We might even see some new blood on the site as a result

The management was excellent and the service better than I expected.

To those that made it, for coming out and supporting Phils efforts

For those that missed it, you really need to come out if you can
Bring the family and enjoy some comaraderie and nice cars.

Who knows?
One day I might even show up with an American powered ride

Finally I met the Shadow! Thanks for the beer and sharing a great conversation with me. I felt like a ADHD social butterfly

It was a great weather for a cruise in. We had about 25 cars ranging from Corvettes, Camaros, GTO's, G8, nice old school Packard ( I think).

We had a special treat when Mike from 360 Customs Inc and Rich from Precision motor sports of Florida showed up to give advice on current builds and build project. They help educate folks on what products on the market are working out better on builds and the aftermarket parts they are doing dyno testing to show action gains. I think this has help with actual numbers and advertised numbers.

That's exactly how I wanted this monthly event to go. Hang out with friends, talk about modifications, listens to exhaust systems, have a brew and some food, Flirt with the Hooters girls, and get in a good laugh to decompress.

I’m going to push forward to Hooters management the monthly award trophies categories will be;

Hooters best car of the night (The girls will select it )

Best sounding car (Crowd selection)

Most radical build (must be the owner) (Crowd selection)

Also food and drink discounts.

As always, I’m open for suggestions for improvements.

I took a couple pictures, and post them up later.

Next cruise in is scheduled for March 9th
