WEEKEND UPDATE by: DJ SCOTT

6.21.2009:  What a HOT and GREAT weekend it was for car shows!

Friday Night: An early strong thunderstorm moved across Broward County, but fell apart as it reached Towershoppes around 6pm.  We waited it out... and sure enough it cleared up for the rest of the evening... and the cruise night went on.  It was a "casual" evening with a moderate crowd.

Saturday: We had a GREAT turnout with over 130+ cars for our 1st show at the Broward Mall.  It was very hot, but there was some shade and relief available.  We had a nice vendor section, and given out were some nice awards and prizes.  "GM Express" came out in full force and won the "BEST CLUB PARTICIPATION" (again) with close to 40 cars!   We greatly thank them for their strong support.  Despite the heat, it was a very good first show, brought to you by "Russ G Events".

Sunday: We enjoyed another awesome show at the "3rd Annual Father's Day Harley's & Hotrods Event".  It was a cooker today as well, but close to 100 hotrods and show vehicles, and countless bikes and spectators came out to make today extra special for dad!  This FREE show featured hotrods, bikes, babes, and BBQ!  (but not particularly in that order).  The free lunch consisted of your choice of delicious BBQ ribs or chicken off the grill, and there was cold beer for dad too!  The bike show was hosted by "Bikes & Beauties Magazine", and the car show was brought to you by "Jumpin Jack Productions".  Big105.9FM was on hand with Doc Reno & Toast doing their "live broadcast" from their tent location.  We had a nice vendor section, and I cranked out some classic rock.  Not only was the show and food free, but $400 in cash specialty awards were given out along with the Top Awards.  Everyone came out of this show a winner!  A BIG thanks to our friend Ace Armstrong and PetersonsHarley N.Miami for a GREAT show!  We are already looking forward to next year's 4th Annual Harley's & Hotrods show on Father's Day!

It was very UN-cool that someone deliberately booked a new and competing show Sunday, on the same date as our long scheduled annual Father's Day event.  They came to our shows passing out their fliers for their competing event. It would have been so much better to have had the two shows everyone could go to, on open dates, working together, rather than have to choose between two shows on the same date.  Like I said... UN-cool!  It just hurts everyone.  But there were apparently enough cars to go around.  We had a GREAT turnout, and we had a fun day!  Thanks to all who came out, for your support.

I accidentally shot much of Sunday's show at 1600 ISO (I hate when that happens), but most of the photos came out fine, as you can see above (nothing I can't clean up with Photoshop). Watch for photos of the Broward Mall and Peterson's Father's Day Show to be available very soon.  I also promised to post photos from both the Seminole shows, and CitiCenter show sometime this week.  I guess I'm going be be busy!  UPDATE:  some photos are now available...

The Tijuana Taxi Cruise went on as it does every Sunday night, but after 2 days in the heat & sun... I stayed home and cooled off in the pool.  It was pushing the upper 90's both days... summer has arrived!! My buddy Rockin Rich always gets a nice crowd at this popular cruise spot!

This Sunday: is the annual "Goldfinger's Show" in Sunrise, brought to you by Jumpin Jack.

2 Weeks - July 3rd: Friday evening is the "Miami Springs Annual Independence Car Show".  This FREE evening show always brings out a BIG crowd.  There will be awards for Best Decorated for the 4th of July.

2 Weeks - July 4th: will feature our "2nd Annual Lauderdale By The Sea 4th of July Car Show".  It is a BIG event with a parade, fireworks, live entertainment, stuff or the kids, and it's right on the beach!  Last year's show was a real BLAST!  Brought to you by Russ G Events.

    WEEKEND UPDATE by: DJ SCOTT

6.16.2009:  I was out of town most of the weekend... so here is what was reported to me...

Friday night: was a good night at Towershoppes!  The weather was ideal, and after a couple of previous rain-outs, everyone came out for a great evening with cars, friends, and families.

Friday night, June 12 at midnight, we also witnessed a "historic" event where analog broadcast TV was turned off forever! Those who pay for TV were mostly unaffected, but for the millions who are still unprepared, they were left in the dark.  As I mentioned earlier, this is an unprecedented move where a technology has been rendered totally obsolete overnight at the flip of a switch.  We truly have witnessed so much change in our lifetime from cars to technology!  Watch Ch10 Shutdown

Saturday night: I heard it was an exceptional night at "Ocean's 11 Cruise" on the beach. I was in Marion Indiana for my daughter's graduation... so "DJ Dee" filled in for me with the tunes.  I am told the weather was nice, the music was good, and their was a great turnout of cars and spectators!  This popular monthly event is brought to you by Russ G Events and Pep Boys Auto.

Sunday:  It seems like only a few years ago that I was toting my daughter Kristi around in her baby seat at Happy Days!  She graduated a high ranking school Sunday in the top of her class with over 3.7 GPA! Kristi was awarded a complete & full 4 year scholarship and will be attending Indiana State University!  She plans to major in advanced mathematics and foreign language, and is one very smart girl!  A "chip off the old block" I must say!  I am one very proud dad! 
See "Grad & Dad"  click here ...or click photo! >

I had 2 graduations in my home this month.  My step-son Aaron (DJ Dee's son), also graduated after attending 5 years at 'Calvary Christian Academy' in Ft. Lauderdale this month. He also graduated with top honors and scores, and will be attending Broward College.  We are both very proud of him too, as he has grown up to be quite a smart and exceptional young man.

Sunday night: it was a BIG party and celebration for Bob (parks the cars) at Tijuana Taxi Cruise in Coral Springs.  A big crowd came out to enjoy the party and popular weekly cruise night as well.

This Saturday: June 20th, we are looking forward to our ALL NEW "Broward Mall Car Show"  brought to you by Pep Boys and "Russ G Events".  It's an open show... all are invited!

This Sunday: June 21st is our "3rd Annual Father's Day Harleys & Hot Rods Show".  This annual event is brought to you by (our good car & bike friend) Ace Armstrong and the great folks at  "Peterson's Harley Davidson of N. Miami".  This show is completely FREE and is an open show! This year's "Father's Day" event will feature BIG cash awards to top show vehicles, along with FREE dash plaques and FREE lunch to 1st 100 cars registered!  BIG105.9 radio celebrities will be broadcasting live from the event... and I will be cranking out the classic rock tunes to enjoy throughout the day!  The car show event is brought to you by "Jumpin Jack Productions".  Easy to get to location east of the Dolphin Stadium off the Turnpike.

Watch for summertime to REALLY heat up with some GREAT shows in July and August too!

Take care and have a GREAT week!  See you this weekend at the shows!  -"DJ Scott"

June 12, 2009:  Today we will witness a "historic" event... the switch from "analog" to ALL "digital" broadcast television!  In just a few hours, analog broadcasting will be shut off FOREVER, turning millions of TV's, VCR's (and viewers) obsolete!  What makes this unprecedented move unique is that NEVER in our history has a technical move forward ever been done without backwards compatibility, rendering a form of communication dead.  When color arrived, black and white still had to work, when stereo arrived, mono still had to work, when FM arrived, AM still worked, when touch tones arrived, dial phones still had to work.  The FCC has always required that new technology always work with old.  Digital broadcasting has been working along with analog now for years... but today, that will all change forever!  This move is being done to make room for more cellular communication. Yes... in just a few hours, millions of TV's, VCR's, and viewers will instantly become obsolete.  The battery operated TV's we watched when we lost power in Hurricane Andrew and Wilma will no longer have a TV signal to tune in to!  It is quite a historic event.  There are still millions like myself who do NOT pay for TV and get it free over the airwaves.  MILLIONS STILL UNPREPARED!  Yes, I am fortunate to have all my digital converters in place picking up an amazing 62 local digital broadcast stations in perfect HD clarity.  But to those who don't... the signals are about to be go dark and be shut off! forever!  Bye bye viewers... and old analog TV!   Watch Ch10 Shutdown 9am

6.8.2009:  I don't have a lot to report this weekend... but here is what I do have...

Friday night was a "wash out" at Towershoppes due to thunderstorms!  Welcome to summer time in South Florida!  One thing though... you can always check this website for "up to minute" show or cruise updates.  If a show gets cancelled, I will usually post that cancellation here if I am near a computer and have access.  The updates will show up immediately!  We are looking forward to better weather this weekend!

Saturday, there were a couple shows going on... I had a city event for Southwest Ranches, while "DJ Dee" filled in for Rockin Rich at the "Total Mustang Supply All Ford Show" in Coconut Creek.  I heard the show went very well with lots of great giveaways, BBQ, and an excellent turnout of cars!

Sunday, the weather turned out to be GREAT, and a few of us "car guys" went riding motorcycles around South Florida again for most of the day.  Our little car group included Randy on his "newest" toy.. a Heritage Softail Harley, Jack and Judy on their Harley, myself and DJ Dee on an Ultra Harley, and Russ G on his newly modified Shadow.  A BIG thanks again to Randy for making the ride possible for Dee and myself!  It was GREAT to see Russ riding again on such a cool custom bike! We ran into friends and people we knew along the way just about everywhere!  It was a casual day of friendship, relaxation and fun!  Check out ride photos... Riding With Friends!

"Car Guys Cool Ride" Sunday ... Pictured (L-R): Jack, Randy, Russ, Scott

Speaking of photos... I am way behind and have quite a few shows to post.  It has been a busy time for me... and once in a while I just have to take a break!  I've had visiting relatives, with travel and several graduations in our family, along with working the car shows, and trying to keep up with all the house stuff.  I have been rewiring getting ready for our DTV transition this weekend.  I will post the recent shows as soon as I can!

We have (2) "Russ G Events" this week: 

This Wednesday night we have our "Classics On Las Olas" cruise night again from 6pm-9pm on downtown Las Olas Blvd.  There are always plenty of admiring spectators, and a lot of great restaurants to enjoy.  The night goes very quickly... We do this one every other month. 

This Saturday night it's our monthly "Ocean's 11 Saturday Night Beach Cruise".  This cruise also features plenty of spectators, Pep Boys product giveaways, a nice patio bar overlooking the show, and a nice meal discount to our show vehicles.  Bring the family.. this one is right on the Hollywood Beach Boardwalk at the ocean!  Part of our "Cruisin Series".. both cruise nights proudly sponsored by Pep Boys Auto.

2 Weeks: We are looking forward to our new "Broward Mall Car Show" Sat, Jun 20th, also brought to you by Pep Boys and "Russ G Events".  It's an open show... all are invited!

2 Weeks: Speaking of Harleys, Sunday June 21st is our "3rd Annual Father's Day Harleys & Hot Rods Show".  This annual event is brought to you by (our good car & bike friend) Ace Armstrong and the great folks at  "Peterson's Harley Davidson of N.

    WEEKEND UPDATE by: DJ SCOTT

5.31.2009:  Today we enjoyed our first new show at the newly remodeled Pompano Citi Center on Federal Highway at Copans Rd.  This place has really changed since the mall I remember back in the 80's.

The Citi Center show was to have show cars prominently displayed throughout the courtyard in a very nice setting, but it turned out the fire marshal had a different plan.  Apparently despite the building being remodeled to code standards, there  was major concern that the cars might  catch the mall on fire, so everyone was asked to relocate away from all walls and overhangs.  I was quite surprised to learn that the concrete walls were remodeled with materials that may be flammable, so extreme caution had to be heeded.

After moving our cars and DJ away from walls and more towards the center area of the courtyard, we could safely go on with the show!  Unfortunately, this did limit the cars we were able to park, and many of our show cars remained in our "overflow" parking outside the courtyard area in regular parking.  I'm sure the fire marshal, who seemed like a nice enough guy, was just doing his job enforcing the law.

Despite the fire and parking restrictions, the Citi Center management and security did everything they could for us, were extremely accommodating, and the show turned out to be very nice!   There was plenty to do with all the restaurants and shops, and even nice places to take cover when the rain hit us.  But the rain didn't stay, blue skies came back out, and our show went on.

The Citi Center poured a lot of effort into this show, and did a lot of advertising and promotion for this event.  We had hundreds of spectators come through admiring the beautiful cars!  In addition to the crowds, we also had special guest appearances by some very beautiful young ladies who will be competing for Miss America.  These girls shared their style and class, as they also admired the classic cars. 

Personally... I was happy to learn the "Miss America" organization is NOT affiliated with that "other" organization that recently made news after it chose to support some "NO class" gutter of the earth competition judge that blatantly defamed one of it's own contestants when she was asked to share her moral and personal beliefs. How does a so called "professional" organization stand behind the public trashing and humiliation of one of it's own... a beautiful contestant who very respectfully answered a question about her beliefs and values?  The Hollywood public media also chose to trash her.  She chose her values over a first place crown in the sleazy organization she is involved with.

Personally, I am glad however, to see there is still some integrity left in our world, and I wish these girls the best as they go on in their competition with a well respected and decent organization.  I believe the Miss America organization still represents the values of "America" most of us still believe in.. and it was very nice to have them representing at our show!  (Pictured above on far right is Aubrey West, daughter of friend Lt. Colonel Allen West who is running for Congress).

This show was also sponsored by Pep Boys, who gave out nice prizes and those new coveted speed shop shirts, and offered guest appearances by the infamous characters, Manny, Moe, and Jack.  We congratulate Scott Stoughton from Pep Boys on his very nice promotion, and wish him, and his family the best as they move back up north.  Watch for their continued support and sponsorship in our local shows, including the Festival Show coming in November.

Thanks again to Julie and all the all the folks at the Citi Center, Pep Boys, our car guys, the spectators, and Russ G Events for a great first show.  Watch for this one to return again.  Photos should be available in the near future.

Our next "Russ G Events" will be:

"Classics on Las Olas" on Wed, June 10th.
"Oceans 11 Beach Cruise Night" on Sat, June 13th.
"Broward Mall Classic Car Show" on Sat, June 20th.
"Lauderdale By The Sea 2nd Annual 4th of July Show" on Sat, July 4th.

Well, I don't make the news... I'm just reporting it.  Welcome to hurricane season... Have a great week!  See you at the shows!

    WEEKEND UPDATE by: DJ SCOTT

5.26.2009:  It was a busy weekend for car shows... and the weather.  The weather was actually nice  for us Friday night at Towershoppes, and by the end of the evening, the stars were out.

Saturday, despite the rain, there were some shows that went on, and others (like the Honey Baked Ham show) that were cancelled.  It rained on and off most of the day.

Sunday, we had a GREAT show at the Seminole Casino in Hollywood.  Well over 100+ cars packed the show as conditions were nice when we arrived.  About 11am or so however, the weather let loose on us, and at several times was almost coming down sideways.  But not to worry, there was plenty to do and a nice place to get out of the rain.  Many went inside the casino to try their luck, or to enjoy the lunch buffet.  Despite the pounding weather outside, it was a time to enjoy fellowship together inside for a brief time.

It wasn't too long before mother nature calmed down, and the sun came out for the rest of our show.  After a few hours, everything was dry for the rest of our show, and for the ride home.  The timing of the weather was great, and so was our first show here. Thanks to all who came out and for your support, and thanks to the Seminole Hollywood Casino and Jumpin Jack for a nice show!  Look for this one to return again sometime soon!  Photo above courtesy of Jack Kuharsky, More full show photos will be available soon.

Sunday night we enjoyed the weekend wrap-up at the Tijuana Taxi Co, where a nice crowd came out for dinner and show.  Always a nice job by Rockin Rich and the staff of this popular cruise night.

Monday was Memorial Day!  Did you thank a vet?  I for one, thank all those who sacrificed and gave service to our country so we could enjoy the freedoms we sometimes take for granted.  Of course, many gave their lives as the ultimate sacrifice, and it is to them we offer our memorial.  It's a little sad, but there were only 2 flags flying in my neighborhood... and soon I may be the last one!  Thank you again to all our servicemen from one proud American!

There is nothing like the freedom of cruisin around our great land in a classic car, convertible, or a couple of nice Harleys too.  Diane and I joined friends Jack and Judy, for our Memorial Day ride. We didn't go too far, but we did step back to enjoy the day.  Our ride included stops at several parks around Broward county, stops for BBQ, and to visit with friends.  Despite a little rain in the late afternoon, it was a perfect day!

Pictured left are DJ Dee & myself on a very nice "2000 Heritage Softail" which rode like a dream all day!  Special thanks go out to my good friend Randy for the nice ride, for his generosity, and for making our day! He couldn't join us because he was off at "Rick Case Honda" getting a great deal buying a new car.  Regardless, we all scored on a GREAT Memorial Day!

This coming up Sunday, May 31st, we have a VERY nice show at the "Citi Place" in Pompano!  We will be parking inside the courtyard for quite a show!  It will also feature live entertainment too. Prime parking will be one of the highlights of the show, and parking at  the show will extend as far out as needed.  Another premium car show brought to you by "Russ G Events"!

Have a great week!  See you at the shows!  -DJ Scott   (mouse over photos above)

Commentary by:  DJ "Scott The MusicMan"

May 10, 2009:  Without trying to state the obvious, times are clearly tough in today's economy.  We do NOT live in the same world we did years ago.  The Towershoppes Friday Night Cruise is South Florida's largest cruise night, is going on 16 years now, but is not without exception!  The success of this historic and legendary cruise is due to many reasons: great venue, lighting, location, restaurants, music, vendors, spectators, crew, and supportive car community!  What people may not know are the efforts the Florida Street Rods have put in over the years to keep this very popular cruise night going.  Over these years, contracts had to be signed, agreements had to be made, and many late hours past midnight at local town council meetings fighting for us to be there, are just some of the efforts and work that has been done.  Of course, in addition to the "behind the scenes" work, every Friday night sections have to be roped off, vendors and parking has to be managed, and crowds have to be controlled, and cleanup has to be done afterwards. This requires the efforts of a dedicated team, who show up reliably and work hard, early and late, every Friday night to ensure that the car community can just show up and have an enjoyable evening!  Without these efforts, trust me, we would not be here!  When there is a problem, who is the first person people run to?  There seems to always be some "issue" that has to be dealt with every week, and it takes someone like Mike, Sid, or the others to fix it, because it won't fix itself. 

Much of this event is supported through our vendors too (some very nice people), which has decreased in size over the past few years, for a number of reasons.  The City of Davie came out and decided which vendors could stay, and who had to go.  In addition to losing vendors, the management continues to ask for more money to be here.  Add this to the costs of fees the City of Davie demands to meet code rules, event insurance, police protection, and what not, the cost keeps going up, all with with less vendor support.  After all this, if the vendors aren't supported, then more of them just can't afford to come out anymore, and we all lose!

People are tight with their hard earned money these days, understandably so.  However, if we don't support our own hobby and that which we enjoy every week, we WILL lose it!  You would be very surprised to learn how much it costs to put on Towershoppes Cruise every Friday night just to break even.  You would also be surprised to learn how much work is involved to manage it every week, by the efforts of a small team of devoted guys.  So please don't bust their chops, just because they are doing what is necessary for us all to enjoy our cruise night!  Help them out, and give them some encouragement!  They were fortunate (for all of us) to be in the right place at the right time many years ago, but only thru continued efforts of the Florida Street Rods who host this show, are we still here... and all of us benefit!  We love our hobby, our cars, and are fortunate to have such a great car community of friends to hang with at the shows and cruise nights every weekend! 

As with ANY host of any car show or cruise night, PLEASE support those who support US!!!

As announced, the parking fee will unfortunately be going up to $3 starting this Friday night.  I know this decision was NOT made easily or lightly, was held off as long as possible, but is necessary due to all the circumstances I've tried to explain.  Even at that price, it's still not much more than the cost of a drink to you, and it mostly just offsets lost vendor support. What is pretty cool right now, is the parking pass is a great way to not only show you are a proud supporter of our event, but right now it can actually save you quite a bit of money (if you come out regularly), both in the savings over new parking fee costs, plus in the nice discounts some of our supportive local restaurants and businesses are offering.  The savings could easily and quickly pay for the cost of the pass over a short time.  A little quick math and you will see it's a very good deal!

This should go without saying (as most of you already know)... please be "respectful" of each other, and respect the Towershoppes Cruise rules too:

• No LOUD stereos!

• No LOUD air horns!

• No sounding alarms!

• No DOGS (exception small "carry around" dogs)

• No saving spaces after 7pm

• No alcohol "open container"

• Classic cars only in center "classic cars section"

• For Sale cars pay "for sale" fee.

• Clean up your trash before you leave.

• No burning rubber!  (we already know you can)

• Cruise ends at 10pm sharp.  All cars must leave. 
  (this is a city council rule, enforced by police)

Most of these rules apply at any "classic" car show (except most hip hop car shows.. you are on your own).  I also wish the past disrespectful dog owners at Towershoppes could have been banned instead of the dogs, but unfortunately all the dog owners had to be penalized.  Please, not only respect the show host (who are contracted and have authority over event)... but have "common respect" for each other!  This is just common courtesy, and will make the event enjoyable for everyone!

I was NOT asked to write any of this... but I felt compelled to do so... for ALL of us.  As I said, please continue to support our vendors, sponsors, staff, restaurants, promoters, and anyone actively involved in our car shows.  They keep it alive for all of us.  BE PROUD TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT!

Support those who support us!

Have a GREAT week... I'll see most of you next Friday night!

Cheers!  DJ "Scott The Music Man"

Comments: 05/12/2009, JJ, South Florida, 1964 Dodge Polara 500
Scott, Your comments about the Towershop Cruise are appreciated by myself as well as my peers. The loud car stereos there you allude to are in fact ultra high powered multi-amplifier sound systems capable of drowning even you out. What once was a showing of the cars has turned into a sonic nightmare. Unfortunately no amount of signage will change a lifestyle.
JJ, it is unfortunate, but "common courtesy and respect" seem to be seriously lacking here is South Florida... and for some maybe it's just "urban lifestyle" mentality. Others were just never taught respect, and have NO idea what it even is.  Yet for some of the others, "disrespect" is an "intentional" choice made by "self serving" people with little regard for those around them.  For those people who can't figure it out on their own, rules are created to help them out... or literally... we can help them "out".  Most sensible people don't enjoy being blasted by ear damaging air horns, or listening to competing sources of pounding music. Towershoppes is primarily a "classic car cruise"... not a "hip hop" show or an "urban" street festival.  It is hosted by the "Florida Street Rods, and they have asked that anyone who comes to "their" show, please respect "their" rules.  If people don't like the way "Florida Street Rods" runs "their" cruise night, they should be respectful & go somewhere else that suits them. It's always a "select few" that spoil it for the majority. However, most people are pretty decent. To those who come out and show off some great cars (old and new) and are respectful, they are appreciated and welcome.  Cheers!

CAR & TRUCK
SHOW!

MAY 3, 2009

It was another PERFECT day for another GREAT show!  Over 240+ show vehicles came out and enjoyed a "picture perfect" South Florida day at a new classic car show location!

Everyone enjoyed the venue, and some of our car guys, like Jack and Terry, even won big in the casino!

The Seminole Casino went "all out" on 100 very nice quality trophies! Congratulations to our "Top 100" winners, & thanks to all the other deserving participants too!  Your support made this first time show a BIG success!

Thanks again to Seminole Casino Coconut Creek, and a nice job by Jumpin Jack and all the crew!

Watch for this show to return again at this same location!  Also, join us at our next all new "Seminole Casino Hollywood Carshow"... Memorial Day weekend, Sunday May 24th, 2009.

I took over 600+ wonderful photos from this show, and have already started the processing... they will be available very soon!  DJ Scott

Comments:  The Seminole Coconut Creek Casino show was a HUGE success this past Sunday. 240 plus cars and trucks graced us with their presence. The casino management, janitorial and security crew were ever-present during the show. Jumpin Jack and his band of regulars (in the pretty green shirts) did a superb job in directing and judging. Scott the DJ had to raise the bar once again, with such a large area to reach out to.. Scott more than covered it with ease. How about those trophies! Not only were they good looking but they were heavy to boot. The only sad part was that only 100 cars received trophies and many more were deserving. I can't wait for the Hollywood Seminole Casino show in a few short weeks. Let's try for 300 cars! This was by far the friendliest show I have ever attended and/or worked at in my 7 years here in Florida. Thanks to all who made our job so easy and enjoyable. Now if we could only have you open your hoods for judging! LOL!   "Webhead"
