* 7/30: I learned today that after heavily promoting this weekend's benefit show (as the hired DJ) that "they" now have their "own" DJ and I am no longer needed!
Is it just me... or is this seriously messed up? Turns out this is NOT a
"Russ G Events" show... the event wants cars, and Russ was brought in to offer his assistance, which he is doing graciously from his heart.
In the many years I've been doing this
though... this is a FIRST! I sure was bummed this morning when I
learned the news! My name WAS on the flier until today. I'm certainly
feeling a little cheated and used.
I NO longer support or am
associated with this weekend's event.
Comments AND support from friends has been wonderful... Thanks!
-Scott
This is an incredible video! ...and is a "nail-biter" for sure! The video is 11 minutes non-stop at full speed! Some of the road is gravel... most of the road has NO guard rails! It gets really crazy around 7 minutes! Jeff is 2WD champ!
Be sure to watch with HQ OFF and full screen for BEST video experience!
OCEAN'S ELEVEN SATURDAY NIGHT CRUISE - JULY 17, 2010!
We had a GREAT getaway in beautiful Tennessee!
Ol' Betsy had a tough time making it up the hills... be she made up for it going down the other sides! We rode some absolutely stunning country side on the Harley... visited the Jack Daniels Distillery, enjoyed some great Nashville nightlife, visited with family and friends, soaked up some "real" warm Tennessee hospitality... and so much more!
Despite the earlier show rain.. over 120+ cars came out for an incredible night!! This popular venue always draws a GREAT crowd! Happy 4th of July!

NEW CruisinSouthFlorida LOGO!
June 30, 2010: I may have OUTDONE myself this time! The new LOGO is up and I think it looks GREAT!!! What do you think? Our pretty model is bartender Melissa from Lefty's in Davie! Neither of us had any idea this quick snapshot would turn into the cover shot for the website! Melissa could not have been more surprised, or delighted! Me too!
The background is several shots merged together with some beach added for the car to sit on. It looks pretty real if I don't say so myself! (the original was shot in Lefty's parking lot). The 4th of July version will be up for this holiday weekend !
RUSS RECEIVES AWARD & HONOR FOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS!
June 27, 2010 Lefty's Car Show:
Russ Gagliano received special award and recognition for his lifetime of excellence & accomplishments in our car show community! Russ is a true legend and South Florida icon in classic cars! The award and honor was presented by friendly competitor Jumpin Jack at his Sunday show.
It is GREAT to see South Florida's biggest names in car show promotions working together!
These guys BOTH have a love for classic cars and the great family of car show people!
Nice job by you BOTH Jack and Russ!
Thank YOU! On behalf of my wife Mimi, and Russ G Events, I would like to thank Jumpin Jack, his staff, and all who were responsible for presenting me with my award this past Sunday. I was both surprised and humbled to receive it. And thanks also to Molly, John, Mike and the membership of the South Florida Hot Rides who presented me with a similar appreciation award 2 weeks ago at another car show. As a promoter, it gives me joy to put on the shows for you and to present the winners with their trophy, I now know what a great feeling it is to receive my own award .......... from all of you.
We are all a part of a great car family here, and should do our best to support each other. My heartful thanks again for the award, and to let you know, I will continue to do my best to promote a show for you that we all can be proud of. God bless you all !!! Russ G

GREETINGS FROM
CHICAGO! by: DJ Scott
5/21/2010: And GREETINGS from Navy boot camp
graduation!
It's a foggy and cool 59 degrees
this morning here in North Chicago! I am here for my daughter Kristi's
graduation! She has officially graduated book camp here at "Great Lakes Naval Base" in Northern Illinois, and is now officially a NAVY girl! Kristi, at only 18 years old, stood TALL and PROUD
at the front of 70 other recruits as rank "E3" and "A-ROC" division leader. We could not be MORE PROUD of Kristi!!!
Kristi is pictured here (on left) front and center, with salute. I will post more proud photos when I
get a chance... I am on a very tight schedule and my time is running out! Cheers from the "Windy City"!
Thanks to all for your letters, prayers, and support! -DJ Scott Photos

WEEKEND UPDATEby: DJ Scott
5/10: Good Moring South Florida! It was a GREAT weekend! Saturday we enjoyed a nice show at the Beacon Lights Plaza for the 2nd Annual Car Show. This event also featured a fashion show and live entertainment on stage, and offered outdoor BBQ, shopping & restaurants too. We had a good turnout of cars and spectators... show brought to you by Pep Boys & Russ G Events! Sunday, the weather was hot and sunny... I did some riding, and enjoyed a Mother's Day dinner out with family at the end. There was a nice turnout of cars Sunday night for the Tijuana Taxi Cruise Night as well.
A lot of people have been asking me about photos! I have quite a few shows I will be posting, and hopefully I will post them in the next few days or so. I will need to burn some late night oil to catch up! Should see some (hopefully) by Friday. I may work in reverse order... but I will get to most of the recent shows.
UPDATE 5/14: Photos are still on top of my hot list of things I need to do.. but due to circumstances they are more likely going to be available next week now. They just don't make the days long enough anymore!
This coming weekend, it's Project CS Car Show, and Ocean's Eleven... both Saturday shows!
Sunny days are here! Get out and enjoy! Have a great week! Here is the full list of upcoming Events!
Take care... God Bless! See you at the shows... -DJ Scott
GREETINGS FROM BOOT CAMP!
Follow the weeks of my 18 year old daughter Kristi (pictured left) who recently joined military service. Kristi is currently stationed at Great Lakes Naval Station in Northern Illinois and will graduate boot camp May 21, 2010. We are SO PROUD of Kristi... and she is in our prayers.
Sunday 5/2: It was a GREAT day to ride! We rode out to Holiday Park, then headed east to several car shows. We made other stops too, enjoyed food, drinks, and live entertainment throughout the day, and ended the day with a nice dinner!
More weekend update coming soon..
FESTIVAL SPOTLIGHT!
4/11 Festival Spring Show live entertainment provided by DB Entertainment, performed by "Jim & Dean" duo on tracks, guitar and sax... playing a GREAT selection of oldies and classic rock! These guys jammed!
4/14 Hooters Pembroke Pines hosts the Regional Competition Anniversary event! It was a record breaking night with an unprecedented 65 Hooters girls from all over South Florida Hooters competing on an outdoor stage in a regional finals bikini contest! It was a night of music, beer, bikes, babes, and a packed wall to wall crowd!
Mar 13: DJ Dee & I went riding Saturday! We hopped on the '03 Fatboy and took a nice beach ride up A1A from Ft. Lauderdale as far as it goes into Palm Beach. While there, we took a water taxi over to Peanut Island for a cool tour of the pirate ship H-M-S Bounty while it is docked here in South Florida. We enjoyed ourselves at the tiki-bar on the harbor where we listened to live entertainment & had drinks and lunch. We had BEAUTIFUL weather... and a GREAT ride!
