Show & Cruising Season is just around the corner......
Maybe it doesn't seem like it now with temperatures hitting -25 degrees wind chill and 3 feet of snow in some of our yards in Western NY, but the events that mark the beginning of the season are fast upon us.

The Buffalo Auto Show begins tomorrow, and the rest of the indoor shows are short to follow. Let us all hope this year will be even better then years gone by. Speaking of years gone by, if you have digital photos of auto events from past years you can now use our new Upload Photos feature (described below) to share them with us all.

http://www.rodandpiston.com/features/randp_5th_supercruise.asp

Preparations for this July are already in full swing. In the next few days we plan on finalizing the revised classes list for 2007, online pre-registation with Pay Pal on RodandPiston.com will be available shortly after.

In an earnest effort to make this year's Super Cruise even bigger and better we are offering special pricing to flea market / auto swap meet vendors. The first 20 swap meet vendors to register will pay absolutely nothing! That's right FREE. We also drastically slashed the price for the rest of the swap meet vendors that register. If you want to get in on this great deal remember it is first come, first serve on the free spots.

Time to become a sponsor is quickly running out as we near time to send our fliers to press. Don't let your business miss out on this great promotional opportunity. If you are interested in sponsorship, please download and complete our Super Cruise Sponsor Form available In Adobe PDF or Microsoft Word format.
