Did We Mention Holley Somernites Is Back For 2008

After the 2007 show coverage of Holley's Somernites ran in Custom Classic Trucks we had a lot of people tell us they were there, and it really was a great show. We just got news from the folks at Holley that it's on for 2008, so we thought we would pass along the good news.

<span style="font-family: Arial;">“The Somernites Cruise has become a huge attraction over the last few years in our home state of <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Kentucky</st1:place></st1:state>”, said Holley’s Director of <st1:personname w:st="on">Mark</st1:personname>eting, Bill Tichenor.  “It really is a national type event drawing cars from all over the east coast, but it still has that small town appeal.  We had over 600 cruisers last year and that was in bad weather.  In total there were over 2,000 cars in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Somerset</st1:place></st1:city>.  Once in town, a cruise-in is held in the historic downtown.  When the downtown cruise-in is over, the event continues on the strip where cars cruise well into the night.  You’ll see everything from street rods, to muscle cars to slammed trucks.  It’s just about car enthusiasts enjoying cars.  We’re really proud of the folks over in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Somerset</st1:place></st1:city>.  They’ve done it right and we’ve decided to join in for a second year”, said Tichenor.<span style="color: navy;">  </span><o:p></o:p></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Holley will give away door prizes from each of their performance divisions including Weiand intakes, Hooker Headers, NOS Nitrous, Earl’s Plumbing, and Flowtech Exhaust throughout the event.   <o:p></o:p></span>
