OH 97SC300 Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Ok........I'd like some honest feedback and thoughts of participating in something like this. First of all....let me explain where this is coming from. I used to have a Twin Turbo Stealth (back in the day) (some of you may actually remember that). There was a "National Gathering" of other Stealths and 3000GT owners out in Ocean City Maryland each year. I made it out to two of them. We would coordinate with other cars in the region (Ohio, MI, KY, etc..) and we convoyed over to MD. We rolled usually 15-20 cars all the way over. I think the drive over was more fun than the actual event. I've been apart of other car events where I'd meet with up other car guys and drive over to the event. Whether it was just driving over to National Trails or Norwalk. The drive again was usually the funniest part. It wasn't necessarily about driving stupid and racing the entire time neither. Driving thru small towns, everyone just seems to stop and stare when you drive thru with 10-20 nice cars, lol. So this got me thinking, why not start something like this where the actual event was just driving somewhere, lol. I wouldn't want to make it a weekly thing, I'm sketchy to even want to do it monthly, I'm thinking every month and a half, so maybe 4 or 5 times for the year, starting next spring'ish. Basically meet up somewhere like Easton around 7:30am on a given Saturday, during meet up I'll explain where we are headed, then head out around 8am, would be 1.5-2 hours out on average, stop at a small town, hang out for 30'ish mins, then head back to Cbus. That's kinda the basic concept, thoughts? Who would be actually interested in doing something like this? I think more the merrier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdyguy2k Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Sounds like a good time. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeesammy Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Sounds like fun, assuming the assholes stay away. All it would take would be one guy trying to showboat and put his car into someone else could ruin a few peoples days. Maybe just ban Mustangs?

Bam Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 We do this in the Ohio Cobra Club. They have 'cruises' a half a dozen times per year. Most are most of the day but you can break off anytime. Typically have 10-20 cars and take scenic drives with a stop somewhere for lunch/socializing and then a scenic drive back. I'd say typically put 100+ miles on the car per day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaTS1200 Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 I would be interested if this happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upgrade_Complete Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 We did this out in Idaho and Montana. Out of Boise we had a cruise every summer for someone who died before I moved there but was very involved in the forum. It was all 2 lane roads but they did a 4 hour loop and just had the rule of no passing the lead car. Only one accident / incident and that was at a stop sign where someone tapped another driver. Sucked but could happen anywhere. I will try to find some pictures but it was usually 100+ cars. Cruises were always my favorite meet type events.

Draco-REX Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 Sounds like fun. A more relaxed version of a Hocking Hills or Triple Nickel run. There are some similar cruises after some Cars and Coffee events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99StockGT Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Several area clubs do this, Ohio G Club has hosted several then do the Annual One Lap event for PTSD, you also have the Central Ohio Subaru group that do pretty regular cruises. We also did 2 post C&C Cruises this year as Draco mentioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwashmycar Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 When I had the Mini we would meet monthly at Tim Hortons in NA then typically go drive up through Amish country and whatnot up to Waldo for lunch, then back. Good stuff. I dont have a vehicle that turns anymore or I'd still be doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Mike, let's plan some cruises to Hocking Hills or Rt.555, around CC&C. It's the perfect springboard. Would you want to do them that early in the morning, instead of midday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Mike, let's plan some cruises to Hocking Hills or Rt.555, around CC&C. It's the perfect springboard. Would you want to do them that early in the morning, instead of midday? Leave in morning and coordinate who brings what for a Lunch cook out? Couple small grills or use charcoal ones at a state park? Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeesammy Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Leave in morning and coordinate who brings what for a Lunch cook out? Couple small grills or use charcoal ones at a state park? Just a thought. Cool idea. Those small grills pack a punch, I have one for my apartment and can fit 4-5 steaks on one :masturboy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShowHBK Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 I would participate in a few. Sounds fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OH 97SC300 Posted October 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 I'm glad to hear the positive feedback. Let's keep the thread alive and as winter starts to wind down, we will firm up the plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
