Stovebolt.com Forums The Side Lot The Old Dominion Stovebolt Society (MD, VA, WV & DC) 2013 ODSS get-togethers

The idea was to post the proposed events/dates in the other thread. But we can delete that other thread and do it here, if that's easier.

If you guys go to Floyd, I should be able to make it depending on the date. I live about 90 minutes away from there.

Yes.. I had thrown out the idea of hitting some of the cruise nights in MD. The only one that seemed interested was Sweet at the time. There are cruis nights somewhere just about every night of the week. All are open to anyone and usually only ask a buck or two for entry. I've heard some tend to be snobby, but the GP has always been welcomed where ever I take it. Some are small with only maybe 20 or so cars, but others are hughe with hundreds a cruisers in attendance.

What I had been thinking was that we could identify some here in this forum and go from there. Here is a link that covers some of them. http://lostn50s.com/cruise-nights/

I think several brothers are interested in doing the cruise night thing. Since our great brotherhood is vast and we are canvased over a large area, it would be challenging to get most of us at a Friday night or Saturday cruise in.

My personal opinion, and please take it as you may, is to announce to our group that a cruise in is taking place. Those that can attend, great. The more the merrier. However understand that no one may show also.

There are several weekly cruise-ins here in my area and I would love to have my brothers attend. I would want to meet prior to the cruise in and actually roll into the event as a group. For those who have done that like we did at Clifton years ago, it was and awesome thing to do...

I agree Sweet. But it would be nice to rotate so that nobody is forced to drive long distances each time. Because most cruise nights occur weekly, if someone wanted to propose a calendar then it would be easier for people to plan. I like the idea of gathering prior to the event, if for no other reason to give us a bit of time to grab a bite, as not all events have food available.

Bro. Sweet -- By announce, do you mean something to the effect of saying "Hey, I'm going to the _________ cruise-in this Saturday! Who's in?"

I think that's about as good as it will get -- seems like last Summer, the few things we tried to plan as a group were impacted by everyone's fluid schedules.

We have a Wednesday cruisein here in So. MD that Peg and I only went to once last year ... (and that one seems to be for Corvettes and cookie cutter muscle cars/self-propelled boom boxes. Trucks are tolerated...)

Exactly John. Since we have very fluid schedules with many people coming long distances, not even factoring weather issues, it would be challenging to get going.

My plan is to do exactly as you stated, and when I read that someone has a cruise in, and I got the itch and the time, I'm hitting the road!!
