Car show cruises downtown
All you motorheads out there should cruise down to Main Street this Saturday for the second annual Car, Truck, and Motorcycle Show sponsored by the McMinnville Cruisers. The show will be held rain or shine.
“It’s just good clean fun for all the folks of Warren County,” said Danny Cummings, vice president of the McMinnville Cruisers. “People of all ages should come on down and enjoy the festival atmosphere on Main Street this Saturday.”
Registration will be from 8 to 11 a.m. and trophies will be awarded at 1 p.m. There is a $12 advance entry fee or $15 the day of show. Contestants will be eligible for door prizes and two sets of tires and a race jacket that will be given away as grand prizes.
The show’s sponsors expect around 135 to 150 cars and trucks and 12 to 24 motorcycles to be entered. Trophies will be awarded in automotive categories for the top 40 (1989 and under) and top 20 (1990 and over) along with best of show, best paint, best engine, best interior, best Chevy, best Pontiac, best Buick or Olds, best Ford, best Mopar, dealer’s choice (Ford, Chevy and Mopar), people’s choice, mayor’s choice, Joe Hall Memorial Award and Security Federal choice.
Trophies will be awarded in an open class motorcycle competition for 1st, 2nd and 3rd, Best of Show and Dealers Choice.
And something new has been added to this years show: remote control. There will be radio-controlled car and truck enthusiasts on hand to give exhibitions and there will even be three radio-controlled helicopters buzzing around Main Street which should be a blast for the kids in the crowd.
“The show is non-profit and the proceeds will go to various charities,” Cummings added.
