    The Santa Maria show (formerly Paso Robles in CA) allows cruising and they do JUST that .....shut down part of the city so that only the "cool" cars can cruise the certain city streets.
    Problems arise when certain streets go from state routes to county roads then to city streets........
    there is a beauracratic nightmare of trying to facilitate the proper paperwork in getting these things done.....believe me - I have looked into it.
    And this does not even cover the insurance aspect of the "cruise"
    You HAVE to have city approval on this - they have to insure it.
    In Santa Maria's case - the mayor is a TOTAL gearhead and put it on the agenda and got it approved.
    I agree that getting a cruise going is a good way to go- but once you start advertising that as a part of the "show" you open yourself up to legal liability and if some kid steps out in front of a 442 doing a burnout - who do you think the lawyer of the family is gonna call on?
    the organizers of the "event" that is who.....
    so
    there is a lot to think about when going through with this stuff.
    I agree there should be more shows with unique aspects to the show. A cruise would definitely be one of the things that would seperate the show from others out there.....
    but you should also know WHY other shows are not necessarily doing it.
    We are going through a LOT of red tape right now for the Iron Invasion in an attempt to get the Woodstock city square shut down for the pre party on Oct 5.
    There are about 4 tiers of OK to get this approved - we are only on tier 1.
    We will keep ya updated cause I know that if we can get the city square to be a part of Friday night festivities at Iron Invasion - that will be a fun time fer sure! It was a BLAST at the Clinton pre party - and again - it was something that set itself apart from other shows..........
    gotta do something unique - otherwise it is just another show.
