The first photo is the meeting point where assembly takes place for the cruise into London?.. 
The concrete barriers are new - at the tart of the street drags.. 
It's an amazing event. I look forward to getting back there soon. It was a really welcoming group of people from the OCC. |
This you mean?
The cruise into London starts at the truck stop under police escort. The line of parked cars actually turns and runs along the side of the parked rigs.
I think the numbers were 140 cars in attendance and 520 runs on the drag strip each generating $10 for cystic fibrosis which is the charity OCC supports.
OCC are a well organised club with great people and the requisite number of friendly nutcases. They went out of their way to ensure I was involved and had a seat in a car to whatever was going on. I was offered the lead parade car but had already accepted a seat in Christopher Crum's immaculate Daytona Coupe.
There were a number of runs to various destinations the day before. I did the 'Guns and Cobras' run to a local shooting range. I've shot in the States before but the equipment this range had on offer blew my previous experiences away.
Each year they run a raffle the prize being.....a Cobra!
