The 26th annual Great Labor Day Cruise at the Orange County Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa, CA. This year the economy affected the turnout. The weather was very nice with perfect evenings. Almost 800 Hot Rods gathered and car friends that may not have seen each other for a year, reunite for 3 days of cruising around the 2 mile cruise route, visiting with old friends, making new friends, checking out some of the 90+ vendors offerings, and generally relaxing. The issues of golf carts on the cruise route was partially addressed by restricting them between 10:00am and 2:00pm. This is the only major event that allows golf carts to cruise. Saturday night a great rock n roll show keeps cruisers jumping. The very nice cars that are on hand provide for some quality award winners on Monday. Thanks for the Show!
