Thursday night has quickly become a popular summer attraction for classic car enthusiasts, and it’s where local families and friends enjoy a few hours together. The first cruise night took place June 4, attracting 40 drivers. Since then, participation has more than doubled, counting cars, trucks, a fire engine and even tractors. Jerry Teller, who others credit as being the organizer, created a flyer that was distributed from Ron’s Tires, where someone took a picture, and posted it on Facebook. The word spread quickly. On the Facebook page, the event is called the Ramona American Graffiti Cruise. The cruise night is an exciting development for Crystal Carle, the organizer of SDCEA’s 13th Annual Car Show & ‘50s Rock in the Park, which is set for Sept. 19. While space is limited, she looks forward to seeing many of the past participants and maybe some new cars this year. The event team is working hard, she said, so that families, friends and neighbors will have a great time.
