Cruisin' is a show that routinely brings together over 3000 owners of show cars & trucks each September to raise money for prostate cancer research.

But it wasn't always that way. Many people thought putting a show together of this type would fail to garner the attention of hot rodders outside of our South Orange County roots.

Yet, the first year on a rainy day, over 600 came out after the rain stopped.

And the two leaders of the event, Debbie Baker and Ross Kroenert haven't looked back since.

Enjoy this look of a show as it comes together two days before the gates open and then see what happens as show day starts at 4:00 in the morning... 

A quick cup of coffee, a muffin and off to work we go...

It is almost eerie to see the fairgrounds empty like this... 

The first of hundreds of cones are laid out...

You can't sneak over to Centennial Farm to what they are growing...

And what was just borne....

This is probably against the rules...but the Meguiar's guys proudly raise the company flag...

Then it is time to set up the raffle and ticket sales areas...

The Bigfoot Monster truck makes an appearance...

...it just barely fits in the truck even with street tires...

If a rodder wants to park his car inside for the day...we'll let them...for a price...

At 4:00 in the morning it is too dark to take pictures and there is no time to take them...ask anyone on the 4:00 shift...

...but by 9:00, over 3,000 vehicles have been parked and the owners are ready to have a great time!

The most important time of the day is getting your free PSA test done!!!

Each year the antique fire truck group starts the parade. It is an amazing assembly of fire trucks and engines...

Even the guys with the big trucks want to take a ride around our closed loop cruising lane...

More guys lining up to get PSA tests...

And it is always great to have Barry Meguiar support our show

And you just never know what you'll like the T above, and the one below...
