I've been asking to try to plan a Cruise In. I'm trying to make it not suck.

I'm looking for any input and advice about what you guys enjoy, what you think are good ideas or anything else that comes to mind. The Cruise In won't be corvette specific (though I'll most likely be driving mine).

I am thinking of doing one of these two ideas:
- Meet at the one local bar and grill, where it wouldn't cost anything, just come park and enjoy.
- The other option is to meet at a pavillion where pizza and such would be provided. I've figured the cost would be $3 or $4 / person.

They each have pros and cons, but I'm looking for input or anything you want to say about it.

TIA

Mikey,

Both ideas sound good.
Just pick something, pick a location and pick a date.
Keep in mind the date you pick will never please everyone so pick a date and stick to it.
I can stir up the NE crowd and the meetup crowd to get a good turn out

I'm still looking forward to hanging out with the Ridley crew on a Sunday morning for breakfast and and a drive. Hopefully this spring.
that is all

The Cruise-Ins I've attended in North Jersey that seem to hold the largest attendance week after week are those held where there are food outlets....i.e. the Whiskey Cafe in Secaucus on Saturday nights. Large office complex parking lot that is empty on the weekends & the cafe right there for food & drink. Another is at the Wal-Mart in Boonton on Friday evenings.....very large parking lot & other food outlets besides WM. Just my 2 cents, but bringing in your own food/drink & collecting $$$ can be a real headache. If you do go the mall route, just be sure to get an OK from the management.

I Live in PA but travel to NJ to visit my family all the time. I know my brother and I will show up. Although he drives a dodge daytona charger he would cruise with us. Pick a date and time and we'll be there.

Do you have any idea approximately where you would like to hold it? That could be a helpful factor in what type of event could work. There is a place in Augusta, NJ called the Chatterbox which is a '50s era type of drive-in. They hold weekly cruise nights for different types of vehicles so that could be a venue to consider. Sundays are open there if you're interested. They have a website www.chatterboxdrivein.com.
