| All of the stars and planets must have
aligned because what you see below is downtown
Banning, Ca. (my home town) which is having a show called, "Cruisin'
Ramsey" every Friday night from 6 - 9 pm. They're going to run this show
from August 3 to September 21st which is open to 50's and 60's Classic
Cars & Trucks, Antique Cars & Trucks, Motorcycles, Sports Cars,
Convertibles, Custom Trucks & SUV's, Custom 4X4's, and Ugly Cars &
Trucks.
There's no entry fee or registration but they do give out trophies at
8:30. There is also a downtown cruise loop open to everyone which is
like watching a parade go by. And there's a live band that plays 50's
and 60's tunes all night. They had a few vendors selling stuff and they
had food too.
Now this was the first show they had, and like most first time
events, they had some growing pains to deal with. What they did was park
all the show cars along the curb, which is fine, but as you can see,
they are parallel parked, not angle parked. They were
suppose to block off the street, but that didn't happen either, which
meant normal traffic was going by all night.The
following week, they blocked off the street and angle parked everyone,
which was a very welcome site.
If you look close, you can see a car coming down the street, which is
a cop. I was in the middle of the street getting ready to take this
picture but after I saw who it was, I walked to the side. You never know
what they might say, and beside, their were cars driving down the
street.
This show just happened to fall on the same night as another show in
a neighboring town. So for our first show, it wasn't as big as they had
wanted, but the following week, the place was packed. Let's take a look
at some of the cars that did show up.
