Our third and final Lakeshore Assembly Motorsports sponsored "Krunch" car show of 2006 boasted the biggest crowd and car count of the summer. The season closing event featured lots of fat fendered coupes, muscle cars, pickups, classics, late models, and bikes too. Chevies, Pontiacs, and Mopars joined the usual crowd of about 20 members of the North Coast Mustang & All Ford Club on the tarmac. The youth group again sponsored the "Krunch Kafe" (don't ask why we spell it that way, nobody knows!), Pastor Jim played deejay a bit, and everyone had a great night of fun. Even after dark, dozens of staff members and gearheads were still hanging around. Maybe we'll have voting and trophies in 2007, stay tuned for more info.
