NHMC cruise nights - 2021

[Jibber]

Any word on when cruise night will be starting up this year?

I must have been chewing some Pizza when it was discussed at the pizza meeting. ;)

Finally some GREAT news. Starting March 22, outdoor gatherings of up to 150 people will be permitted in Massachusetts. Considering most local cruise nights dont exceed that number, cruise nights should return.
In the Live Free and Drive state of NH, restrictions have been less strict for some time so we expect to hear from cruise night and car show hosts from this point on.
For now wearing of masks is a small price to pay for the opportunity to reunite with our fellow motor heads. Stay tuned.

Gentlemen (and ladies) start your engines. Our cruise and car show lists are growing by the hour. First issue should be on the street around April 15. We're celebrating our 30th year. Someone somewhere is buying me a beer.

According to Rick, cruise night starts in May. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

[Jibber]

May 1st less than two weeks away.... happens to be a Saturday too.
I'll be there for the first cruise night!

Anyone else?

[ToplessPony94]

Would like to. Depends on when granddaughter's birthday gathering is scheduled. I don't get any input to that.

Use your persuasion techniques.

Or did you dust off the old Bruce Bigelow book of excuses? :p
I think I remember that one from page 99 in chapter 12..... using your grand daughter to get out of cruise night. Lol

[390gtconv]

Or too many leaves on the ground...

[ToplessPony94]

Sorry guys, but not gonna show up with a dirty car. Been VERY busy. Hope to at least get it washed today. Wax if I have time. And I have absolutely no input into the scheduling of granddaughter's birthday. For reasons too complex to explain due to Covid (that family has had to quarantine 4 times already), they have to schedule 5 different separate celebrations and I am not invited to add to the complexity of that. I'll be there if I can. Enough said.

Update: Car washed and inspected today. Hoping for cruise night.

Weather has been looking good for Saturday until I just checked and saw rain every day for the next 6 days. :(

I don't know how others feel, but I feel that club communications has gone to hell ever since it pretty much moved to FB. Yeah, I'm not an FB fan, but I'm not allowing that to influence my opinion on this. Sometimes it feels like there is no NHMC anymore.

[390gtconv]

Yea, if it would be allowed, Home Depot in either Salem or Londonderry.
All of our MA club members I'm sure would like, somewhere closer to border. Some have mentioned they'd attend club shows if not so far north.
If not Home depot, somewhere....

[390gtconv]

Agree.
I don't think any club members other than myself, son brother in-law and members from MA going to Carlisle Ford Nationals.
And as I reported per Whips Wheels ( not club) No Budweiser show this year

[Dennis O'Shea]

I understand your frustration about no information. But in defense of my friend Mr Prez like the rest of you life throws us all some curve balls. Right now his mother is quite Ill and has been dealing with her for quite a few months
He's has had to call in hospice to help him out. And I am talking about his mother not that his car won't start. I lost my Mom three weeks ago and it kinda takes up all your time. So before
you start bitching and whining you might want to know all the facts. And give the guy a pass for the moment. Believe it or not family comes first "I'm OUT'

[ToplessPony94]

Thanks Dennis. We lost my Mom a little over a year ago and I do understand the kind of time that takes up, and where the priorities have to be a times like that, no question. But I also want to say that the issue I was mentioning has been for several years, not just recently. And I really miss the bantering and the posts about what people are doing to their cars that we used to have on the forum, too. Can't do that the way FB is set up. Sad.

[Jibber]

Cruise night was fun. Good to see some of you last Saturday

[390gtconv]

Is Candia cruz up and running?
If can finish cleaning my car be fore trip to Carlisle, I may take my brother inlaw to Candia this Thursday.

Yes they have had well over 100 cars the last few Thursdays

[390gtconv]

Sweet, thanks Dennis

[390gtconv]

145 cars tonight, nice night. but still have more of last years gas to burn off.

[07 stang gt]

You sure there wasn't 146 cars there ?I tried to make it. What time does it start and end on Thursdays ? Not far from my house

[390gtconv]

That's number that announced.
According to latest Whips Wheels, cruz times 5-8pm til September 30th4014

[marinedad]

I haven't been to cruise night past couple of weeks and can't make it this Saturday either, has the number of people participating increased?

[Jibber]

Who's going this week?
Weather looks good!!

[390gtconv]

Not me, Hooksett cruz, not big deal.
Helping my son get his Checkmate boat ready for our Lake George vacation in a few

[ToplessPony94]

Yeah, Hooksett getting kinda boring. Nice to see friends, but same cars, same people every time gets a bit old. Nice to see different cars, meet new folks too. Much more variety when it was closer to the Mass border. Last time there I didn't really even bother looking at cars - knew them all already.

[390gtconv]

OK Jibber, Candia cruz tomorrow - Thursday. ONLY day in awhile w/o rain. My brother in-law Art & I are planning on going....

[Jibber]

OK Jibber, CADIA cruz tomorrow - Thursday. ONLY day in awhile w/o rain. My brother in-law Art & I are planning on going....

Wow. I'm honored that you thought of me..Lol
Unfortunately, I'm in Rochester NY for work and won't be home in time.

[390gtconv]

Tonight in Candia cruz, my wife read it to be a Big special night to honor vets. "Honor Flights"
Plus big fireworks at dusk. Expecting big raffles....

Glad you're honored...

[390gtconv]

This past Candia cruz was great. They honored I believe a 100 year old vet.
Also fireworks show was nice, about half hours worth. Lots of us stayed for it. And a warm dry night. Those only happen once every few weeks...
My brother in-law Art finally got his 67 Shelby running, inspected to the show, & won the Candia Cruz pick.

I've been checking to try to find info on the NH Veterans Home cruise night that's usually first Thursday in August in Tilton. I can't find any info about it at all. Was, of course, not held last year due to Covid-19. Looks like they are not comfortable enough yet to hold it this year. Understandable.

If it was scheduled, I'm sure the Delta variant wiped that out.
