Scroungers cruise to Somerset ,Ky May 28th 2011

Saturday, May 28th 2011
There have been a few problems with trying to get the crew to do this run. I think it is because most of us went down 3 or 4 years ago in July and it was over 100 degrees. We didn't have a good time at all. It's always hot in July down there. Last year we tried it again. I took the kids with me and that was a huge mistake. Aryan had a heat stroke and I had to get Butch to toss him on my back and carry him thru dowtown and about 6 blocks away where we had to park. He had a Gatoraid with him and was sipping on it when the heat took over. We got him in the AC at a store and was forcing him to eat bananas to get his potassium up a little and then off to the motel where we stayed untill the sun went down.
I use to never miss the July run because it was the power cruise. I have video here of some of the club cruising down with a pack of 250 plus cars down I-75 to get to the car show. It's sad to say but the last few years the cruise down was not what it should have been. Only a handfull of cars and not at all the cruise that it once was. AGAIN this year we are taking things into our own hands to make it a fun trip. We are not going down as a group in July! We are going to cruise our own route, stop when we want to for gas and breakfast and just take it easy and enjoy a nice drive to get to their show. We will drive I-75 down to Lexington and then shoot over to Pike 27 and take the back roads into Somerset for the show. This is going to be a good time so don't miss it..

Pics from last years show. They pull in a huge amount of hot rods.
