Matamoras Tuesday Cruise-In
Matamoras, NYTuesday, September 4, 2018
Cruise-In at the Port has changed its location. Instead of the local streets in Port Jervis, NY, the event now has found a home at the Airport Park in Matamoras, NY.
This becomes a very interesting situation inasmuch as our huge weekly cruise-in at the Chatterbox has come to an end. Considering the numbers of cars that showed up each Saturday, many questions have arisen concerning where all the cars will go. Well, the size and possible availability of extra space make Airport Park a possible candidate to pick up the ‘lost cars’ that do not have another large area.
One other area that has been mentioned is ‘Jumboland’ in Sussex County, NJ. I had thought there was not enough room for the number of cars that could descend on the place, but I was informed there is plenty of room behind the restaurant – so next season might be there. This was the last show for this season at Airport Park according to the schedule of events we use.
So today, after several rain-outs, was the last event at this new location. And what a difference there was. Very interesting.
Again we cruised to Airport Park in a couple of Corvettes and a Camaro all out race car. It seemed that the traffic into the park was a lot more than expected. Parking was difficult considering what time we arrived. However, we found spaces for all three vehicles plus a Caddie convertible that one of our customers owned.
All in all, the evening was a blast. We ran into friends, both new and old. Lots of pleasant conversations went on, all concerning shows, cars, race tracks, driving instructions at some of the local raceways – what a delight! Hopefully now next year’s attendance at this Cruise-in will continue to be one of the area highlights.
