ssr's and the tops in motion,first bunch starts with tops down,second up third down and every couple hundred yards or so (TBD) a leader of that fleet will signal
to their respective group, to put their top up or down depending on the intial start position etc. We do this thru-out the parade so the majority of the public can see our versitile and
cool ssr in action,thought that was a neat idea,what do you think?!  
PS: Every two hundred yards or so only one group lowers their top or puts it up,so we are all not doing it evey five minutes,we just go in a rotation of group unison etc.IE: Two hundred yds. first group does their thing,two hundred yds. second group does the top action ,so on and so forth along the parade route. |
I think it's a great idea. We had talked a bit about it last summer, and we have our resident fire chief(s) Mark and Roberta Tessen to lead the pack with their red fire truck, complete with red flashing lights and fire department logos on the doors.
Several Fanatics mentioned they really enjoyed the parade. Last year was the first attempt. Sounds like it'll be bigger and better this year. It's also really overwhelming to see so many SSRs arriving on site at the same time - great stuff.
On another happy note, Bernie, who won all the trophies at the 07 Cruise with his awesome 40 Cadillac, is now officially a Fanatic.
PS - Does someone have a photo of the Fire Truck - Can't believe I don't have a shot of it. I'll go check the photo thread about the Beach Cruise.
Sue saves the day - photos of the Fire Truck.
