Annual, and the Northern Ohio Racers Swap Meet at the Cuyahoga County Fairgrounds which has always been a good place to find some Go Fast parts!

Did you get a ticket to go to the Detroit AutoRama at the Cobo Hall in Detroit? I have several Bus Trips listed this year, get your ticket to ride before they are sold out! You can't beat having Door To Door service without the hassle of parking. Check them out and enjoy some really fine vehicles.

Some early news for the Cleveland Auto-Rama held at the I-X Center, is the 1940 GM Futurama FutureLiner along with the Weiner Mobile and Dragula with Eddie Munster from the Munster Show! And, if you don't get your parts at the other swap meets, you can bring your list here.

Web Site

Also, I would like to Thank those of you who have had to resend your Car Corral several times before we got it. The server randomly deleted many of the Emails and I never got them. We have been working on the problem for a long time and finally have a fix in place. Not only did we fix the mailing problem, you can now attach pictures to it when you fill it out. So when you click on "List on Car Corral" you will see a new window. We also fixed the year pulldown.

We are getting into the 2012 season now, so get off your Butt and send me your listing or post it on our Online Event Form. I can't list it if you don't send it in!There are many pages of Car Shows, Cruise In's and Swap Meets listed for 2012 already.
Also, if you know of a cruise no longer happening, please let me know by sending info to here.

Outdoor events are going strong in the warm weather states. We are expanding listings in those areas. Many events in Florida and other warm weather states around the country.

Vendor News

Now that we are way into the "snow" season make sure your work is lined up! Of course you can't beat Howards Upholstering quality of work or his prices, bur make sure you have a date lined up with Eric or he may not be able to squeeze it in. Speaking of that, have you called Ryan Mohr at Old Skool Kustom Painting to make sure he can get you on his calendar for some work before summer sneaks up on us? You can see Ryan and John Carillo at the VSRA Show in June with their band of Pin-stripers doing great work for charity.
