Ol' Marais River Run Car Show

Since 1986 a local group of car enthusiast called the "Over The Road Gang" has been putting on a car show and cruise night in our town. It is a two day show that consists of a show and shine in the local park and on Saturday nights a "Back to the 60's" cruise night. During cruise night main street is closed and  the participants of the show are allowed to park on street and cruise for a few hours just like the good old days of the era. The first show in 1986 there were 150 participants but over the years the show has grown. In 2010 there were 1618 participants, this years show was expected to be one of the largest with est. 2000 entries.

 

I had the opportunity to attend the cruise night and a few of my photos will be from that. I didn't bring my tripod or mono pod, due to the crowded streets,  which I regret.  But I did make it down to the show in the park and spent a hour and a half taking 500+ photos, so you might get tired of see car photos before long. Here are a few from the cruise night and I will post a few more after I have had chance to edit get the others ready to post. By the way, I don't know if any of you have noticed but, the camera model beside my name has changed. I have been given a upgrade by Ron, a early birthday gift, by a couple of months. These were all shot with my Nikon D300 and Tamron 18-250 lens.
