This the latest from the Golden Cruise night – August 7, 2010

With the weather initially threatening to rain, the Golden Cruise night turned out all right. All right other than the Cadillac Group beat the Datsun Truck group to the Golden Realty Lot. We ended up taking over a small lot just north of Golden Realty Office and managed to park 5 Datsun classic trucks, including Darrell Hoffman (he didn’t bring the Z), 4 Z cars and 5 Roadsters. From the WyCROC group we had Gary Lasater, driving Gordon’s 1969 Red 2000, AJ Lasater, with his Copperhead ’70 1600, Gordon Maness Franken monster cobbled together 5 speed 1600, Ruth and Wayne Hill with their white ‘69 2000, and Greg Cheer with his ‘69 red 1600. From Zroad there was Daniel Bailin’s 240 Z, Dave Hulslander, with wife Jacqui with their Black Pearl ’78 280Z, Mike and Michael Guzinski with Michael’s 72 240 Z almost back on the road, Gerry and Jonnie Lynch, with their Green ’74 260 Z. Lastly Tim Reinhart with the Impala who also has a Z.( 1971 240Z - 2.8 install in progress - LT1 in near future). John Bilodeau rode with Daniel Bailin - no Z that night.

Towards the end of the evening, most of the group joined the parade up and down South Golden Road with a lot of comments for the roadsters of “is that a Datsun?”. Z cars got some good stares, but all and all it was a great time for all that were able to make it. Need to do this again sometime soon.

As you can see from some of the shots, things were tight, but we managed to cozy all the cars together and watched the parade of cruising cars. Okay we didn’t post any pix from the cars – you’ll just have to go yourself and see the extreme wide range of hot rods, rat rods, classics, sports cars, mini buses, and the list goes on.
