swear God looked out for us because it's for the troops. I would guess over the course of the night we had around 100 cars. There were thousands of spectators. I don't know how much we raised yet but it was a great event. Had some of the finest cars anywhere show up in support of the troops. The highlight of the night was Ryan Rauscher showing up. Ryan is the 17 year old son of my engine builder and friend Micheal of L&M engines. Ryan was in a terrible accident in Jan. and wasn't expected to live a day. His entire forehead and scalp was removed. He had severe brain injuries. When he showed up at the cruise I almost cried. Two years ago I introduced him to drag racing. He was the nicest kid in the world. I was almost speachless to see him walking around. He still needs a lot of mental therapy but it is a miricle that he's alive. This made the event the greatest for me. Thanx, Ra

Looks like the weather held out great for the Philly Cruise. :D And, the Marauders got honorable mention in the photos this year -- check out page 5, image # 5744. Could that be the BigDog in the background?? :rolleyes:

That red GTO was one of my favorites!! :up:

Looks like you had a good turnout despite the weather predictions....

Lots of nice cars*.

Glad to see Ryan is doing well in his recovery.

*except I'm a little disturbed with the big block Chevy in the 85/86 Ford Mustang.....why not use a 600+ cubic inch '385' series FORD big block?
Then you can put ' 10.0 ' badges on the front fenders! :D :D :D :bows: :bows: :bows:
