In fairness to everyone please use only one parking space to display your

DISPLAY VEHICLES OVER-FLOW
PARKING LOCATION.
If the primary display vehicle parking area is full, let's keep the over-flow
display vehicles together by parking in the parking area immediately to the
west (
Parking -
Parking is on a first come first serve basis, the volunteers will try to assist
and accommodate the best they can. Due to the high influx of cars
attending Pasadena Cruisin' at Fuddrucker's, we are requesting that all cars
use only one space for parking. No chairs or people or other items are to use
vacant spots use for parking cars. If you are found to be using more than one
spot you will be asked to move your car. Colored cones are placed in specific
areas for a reason. Do not move these cones to park a car without asking a
staff personnel. You will be asked to move your car if you do. Show some
courtesy for your fellow cruisers. We all want a space to park our car.
Pasadena Cruisin' at Fuddrucker's is a great cruise and we want to keep it that
way.
Show Time -
Every Saturday (only during shine, canceled when
it rains) from 4 PM - 11 PM.
Most of the cars tend to arrive around 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM (earlier in the winter
because it gets dark earlier), but they continue to trickle in even up until 8
PM. Tip for clubs and groups: If your club
or group is attending, and you all intend to park your collectable cars
together, please plan and try to have your entire group arrive by 5 PM.
Cruise Time -
During the "Cruise Time", some of the cars go on the cruise and then
come back, and others stay at the show. More details below.
Raffle Time
– When there is a raffle it is held at approximately 7:00 PM.
Show Location
- Fuddrucker's Restaurant parking lot
Show Etiquette Refresher
- No smoking near or down-wind from any of the vehicles, smoke damage
significantly damages the economic value and enjoyment of the vehicles. Don't
touch any vehicle unless you have been invited to touch it by the owner. Don't
lean on any vehicles. Be mindful not to let belt buckles, purses, jean's pant
rivets, items in pockets, etc. touch any of the vehicles. Don't criticize
anyone's' vehicle, they're in this hobby for pleasure. If someone does solicit
your opinion be honest, while being kind and encouraging too. Be friendly and
encouraging, and get to know your fellow enthusiasts.
Show Vehicle Entry
Requirements – Street legal
old car or truck of collectable interest, in any street legal condition, needy
project cars to pristine trailer queens. On days when the turnout is expected
to fill the primary display lot there will be a restriction to pre 1974
vehicles however there will be some exemptions. A sampling of the exemptions
include truly unique cars and cars that are a part of a club scheduled
participation. We want to encourage clubs to participate and group park
together. Clubs please try to let us know in advance about your club's
scheduled event participation in Pasadena Cruisin'. This way we can try our
best to group park your club members and to prevent any confusion or exclusion
of your club members vehicles that may be post 1973, etc. All display vehicles are required to have an appropriate
working fire extinguisher available for your vehicle. Respectfully;
No Hoppers, No Mini Trucks, No Loud Radios, No Revving or Racing of your

Cruise Time -
The cruise leaves the parking lot at 7:30 PM. The cruise route is approximately
11 miles long (add 2.5 - 3 miles for the site
seeing options), and takes approximately one hour to complete the route
depending on traffic. The Thomas Bros. Guide Map pages 566 & 565, covers
the entire route. Remember, be careful and do not block intersections. So if your
vehicle is street legal, please come join us on the cruise. By the way this is
a legal cruise because the vehicles on the cruise route basically only pass any
given location one time. This route has been reviewed by the Pasadena Police
Dept. and deemed a legal cruise.
