We usually visit the Burger King cruise in Manassas, VA near the
airport, 4-5 times a year but hadn’t found the time so far this year….we would
fix that on Saturday. The cruise is
right off a major east/west highway in this area, Rt. 28. Ingress & egress is dicey at times with
the constant flow of traffic on Rt. 28….so one must be a little creative when
planning to visit the cruise. The cruise
can have over 100 vehicles attend with some people staying for an hour or so
then moving on to another local cruise.
Some stay till night but it’s a very transient cruise. There is some construction going on in the
parking lot which contributes to the very dusty environment….not a good thing
for special rides. One of the things I
don’t care for is the sun angle….the lines of vehicles are north/south….as the
sun begins to be low in the west it makes taking acceptable pictures a real
chore. And if you wait till the sun is
low enough to be able to capture the images….people begin leaving! So I usually only get about half the vehicles
that are actually on the lot…..even then some of them are from the rear ¼ instead
of head on.
I did get a fair capture of Nick’s purple Fairlane….such a
pretty car….and I hear it’s just a little quick too! Nick owns/runs the best and most used website
to find out what is going on around our area with the hot rods….he has most of
the shows and cruises listed on his website.
He updates it daily….it’s the ‘go to’ site to help decide what to do on
the weekend with your hot rod. http://www.capitalcruisin.com/shows.html
The cruise has just about every type of ride….from new to old,
fast and slow, stock and near race car….even a Tuner or two will visit
occasionally. This is a year around
cruise, every Saturday afternoon/evening.
When it gets too cold to sit outside then the folks go inside BK to
fellowship….you need to check it out if you are in the area.
