Tuesday, August 5, 2008 — Gary Geissman, editor and publisher of Cruisin Carolina Magazine, announced re-cently that Oakboro Cruise-In will be featured in the October issue of the magazine.
The Oakboro Cruise-In is held the fourth Friday of each month, with burnouts being held from April -October. It is the largest cruise-in held in a North Carolina downtown. For more information, log onto www.oakborocruisein.com.
Launched in March 2008, the magazine focuses on cruising events in North and South Carolina. Geissman and his staff of photographers attend as many as 40 cruising events per month and feature photos both in the monthly magazine and on their Web site www.cruisincarolinamagazine.com.
“I believe that the Oakboro Cruise-In is definitely one of the best in the state of North Carolina. I personally travel all over North and South Carolina and Oakboro is in the top three out of hundreds I attend. Where else can you take your family for a night of fun like this for free,” he said.
Mooresville native Geissman has a long history of drag racing, working in both Indy Car and Nextell Cup series. Geissman and staff will photograph the Aug. 22 event and be available to talk to car owners about their classics or street rods. Owners who want to be sure to be noticed should come early to obtain a prime parking space.
The magazine provides free listing of car events as well as car clubs of both Carolinas. In addition to a monthly story about a cruisin diner, Geissman offers restoration tips, technical articles, and stories about salvage yards and auto graveyards.
Cruisin Carolina Magazine is available for purchase at the Oakboro Regional Museum of History. Subscriptions are available through the Cruisin Carolina Magazine Web site.
