CHOP, RASH Done and Done

I planned on going to the Cruise Night up at Roy's All Steak Hamburgers, but at the last minute got a call from Big Mike saying the information toilet had backed up to tell him that RASH has been called for the year. With a whimper from the Aflac Duck.

So I packed up the 48 and went to the last of the season at CHOP and was not disappointed in the least bit. It was a great night with a great crowd. Congrats, Kudo's and a slap on the back to Bill Pierce for the impromptu award recieved from his fellow cruisers for being the Cruiser of the Year.

It is however the last cruise at CHOP until May and it will be a long winter without it. But what says that we can't still have an unofficial cruise night somewhere.

Is it written in stone or did someone write a guide somewhere where it specifically states that you need a DJ or a fake Wurlitzer Juke Box in order to have a cruise night. Nothing says we need door prizes and you can buy 50/50 tickets at Wally World (someone else can get those)

I say that someplace that isn't seasonal or tourist oriented would be fine and food would be a consideration. But in my mind there is nothing that says we can't get together with the old stuff we drive until the wee hours of October or if the weather holds November.

Making it on a Weekend would be good that way we could start it earlier and end it just after dark. Does this make any sense. Is it an unwritten rule or just the way it is. Everybody seems to ready to make major wholesale changes as far as car shows go, well changing the cruise night criteria and keep it going might be easier and less damaging to everybodies tender egos.


Besides you know what else doesn't come with a cruise night, Classes and poaching.

Might be fun.

If you ain't all stuck in a rut.
