I'm located in the Town of Greece (right around Latta/Long Pond intersection). I've been to New Era Perfromance for various things (rear 02's after headers, SES light problems, etc.). I've never had them install anything yet. Headers and exhaust was an eight hour learning experience I like to do as much work on my own as I can. The computer tuning I leave to the professionals though. I still need a full dyno tune, but am holding out for heads/cam this fall/spring.

I've been to NYIRP two or three times this year. I go to numerous car shows as well. Some include Dewey Latta (sponsored by the Street Machines of Rochester) and Olcott Beach ( best car show around here, hands down ). I'll also stop down to the Log Cabin restaurant out in Macedon on Wednesday nights for cruise nights (200-400 cars).

I know it's out of the way from the main cruise area but it's still a great spot with Food and Restrooms close by. And you can always drive down to Royal Oak or up to Pontiac to see the action.

I hope to make it up with the firehawk, but waiting on several parts.
If not I'll bring the DD just to check it out.

Cool beans! I'll be up and down the strip, so I'll definitely check it out.

Firehawk looks like a beast. I hope you get everything on in time.

I've been securing a spot near Square Lake Rd for the last 3 years now, and usually have a couple F-body groups show up. So all are welcome to stop by or hang out for as long as you like.
Great time last year Craig. I just booked our room the other night Denise and I will be there, hope to see you on Saturday. Lets hope for a dry one this year.

The Dream Cruise is not all that great...the week leading up to it is where all the fun is.

Really all summer long if the weather is nice cars are out EVERY weekend. I usually don't even bother going the day of. but i live like 10 minutes from woodward and square lake so i'm out there all the time.

My grandfather has a demolition company on Woodward in Pontiac called Nell Trucking that we usually hang out at. Every year he gets a band, has food, and things to do. I love the Dream Cruise. Did anyone see the special on either the Travel Channel or TLC they had about it?

Nice vid! If you've never been there, it doesn't do the cruise justice, but I've never seen a video that can. You have to go to experience it. Great song too by the way.

never heard of it before last year. Someone told me about it so we went on saturday...craziest thing I've ever seen in my whole life. We walked from 9 mile to 14 mile in a few hours and then had to walk back . No way I'll ever miss it again. I'm taking off work the weekend of and driving up thursday night to take part in the festivities. I've honestly been contemplating moving up there just b/c of what the scene was like. You guys that live up there have no idea how good U got it...
