Vision: To Be So Effective That We Are Able To Be Helpful To Others
From 1988 thru 2004, the Southern Cruzers Car Club held a Friday Night Cruise and Saturday
Car Show at Lakeville's Pan-O-Prog festivities. This became a very successful event, drawing
between 500 and 600 cars. The Lakeville organizers informed us that our Cruise and Car Show
was drawing over 22,000 spectators, twice the number that attended the Pan-O-Prog Parade on Sunday.
We had been hearing from our club members and members from other car clubs, that there was no
car show "South of the River" in the Metro area that they would consider a "huge event." Those
we spoke with also wanted an event that featured not only cars, but also had food, a swap meet,
and commercial vendors.
In 2005 we made the decision to host our own car show that included the items that car enthusiasts
we spoke with wanted, and we named it “The Summer Spectacular.” It is because of the participation
of our sponsors and you, that the Summer Spectacular has become the popular event that it has.
What differentiates The Summer Spectacular from other car shows?
Our members surveyed attendees at the other car shows to find out what they liked and didn't like
about the way other car shows were run.
Using this feedback, we tailored our car show to meet the as many of the requests forwarded to us
as possible. Some of the items we included are:
Get vehicles in quickly. Get the cars in and get them parked, then do the registering
Pre-registered cars get a packet at gate. Sign a disclaimer and you're done! Even your door prize ticket has been pre-deposited
Keep dust to a minimum
In addition to "TOP 20" trophies, there's also 2 Best of Show trophies (voted by participants and spectators)
Get trophy presentations started on time
Activities other than the car show
