    I’m posting, asking this because a friend/business was asking my advice on doing a cruise night injunction with another event that would be going that night near the business they own. Kind of a Gallery or Art night with a cruise night tagged on to get people down to the area to walk around and see the businesses. At first they talked about a car show, I explained the differences and expectations between a show and a cruise night. They then explained it would not be a weekly event but once or twice a summer and it will be on the same night as another very popular cruise night only a mile away.

    So I am asking those of you here. How much of a issue do you think that could be? What kind of pitfalls is this person getting into trying to basically compete with another cruise night that in my opinion has a better facility and entertainment value then what they want to do. Personally, I think they won’t pull many people in since the other cruise night is right there and established. On the other hand, people might want a change of pace.

    I know this is a very vague post but I’d rather keep it this way right now. Sorry to be so vague, if it keeps responses to zero, I understand.

    Thanks

    I don’t think it is a problem since it will only happen 2-3X a summer.

    If the other place where the cruise night takes place has a better facility and entertainment the new place probably may not pull many vehicles. They would have to advertise it heavily to let people know about it. Out of curiosity people may check it out.

    I don’t think your interferring with anyone elses’ plans if your only going to have a cruise night a few times throughout the summer. If it was going to be a weekly thing, then I would suggest it be on a night where there is nothing else planned (Example: the Tuesday night RoadApples cruise night has been in place for many years, but now there is also one at Rev. Jim’s Roadhouse put on by Muscle Car Performance…Formerly House of Horsepower and Custom Hack Jobs. Why in the hell would you intentionally plan a cruise night when there is already another one going on elsewhere in the city?)

    With fuel prices where there at, having an alternative for your local’s is a good idea!
