Default Gillette Stadium/Bass Pro car show?

Anyone ever attend this bi-weekly event? Held on Thursday nights. I went last night w/ a couple buddies from work (one has a '61 caddy coupe deville the other a Plymouth GTX) and its a great FREE show w/ tons of varying cars/good turnout

It was actually light last night. They usually get 1500-2000 cars but it was cloudy in many of the surrounding towns. I used to go every time but work in Plymouth at the moment and can't get there until 5:30. I like to go early and watch all the cars drive in. The next couple are August 14th and 21st and not on the 7th as originally scheduled. They always change dates in August when there is a conflict with any other scheduling. There is another smaller but still decent cruise in at Raynham dog track on 138 in Raynham on the opposite Thursdays as the Bass Pro one.

Yeah it was cool, that was my 2nd time. Vettes are a dime a dozen there (so are stangs obviously), but I barely hang out @ my car I'm there to see the other cars like you.

I will check out the raynham one sometime.

There was a bunch of empty spots in many rows. On a good night every spot will be taken and they will fill past the bridge. Still the best cruise in around. I have been going for years.

It's the largest cruise night in New England. I drive up early from the Cape. We set up the chairs at the beginning and watch the cars as they roll in. Nice variety of cars

You'll have to let me know when your planning on going to one of the cruise nights. It's a pretty good ride for me but I still would love to show you the car you helped me buy...

I am sure he meant there are quite a few vettes there (at least a couple full rows) and a few scattered throughout.

If you can get there early this is the best way to see this cruise night. Set up at the road around 2-3 and watch and hear all the cars roll on by. Its interesting to see who drives what also.
