HRHR Summer 2022 Summarized
Updated: Oct 29, 2022
The summer of 2022 was a good year for the Highlands Ranch Hot Rodders. We had many events and I'll touch on each one of them in this blog.
Freddy's
Lets start with our weekly event of going to the Highlands Ranch Freddy's located at 900 Sergeant Jon Stiles Dr, Highlands Ranch, CO 80129. Ron Latine was there almost every Friday to meet and greet members as well as to talk to anybody that has questions on the car club. If Ron wasn't there it was because it was either raining or snowing.
Here's a few videos of the guys leaving Freddy's. No burnouts!
Tom and Tami Accardi - 1999 C5 Corvette
Anthony Galletta - 2002 Pontiac Trans Am
Paul Cattich - 1971 Cuda Convertible
4th Saturday Cruise
4th Saturday of the month Highlands Ranch Cruise & Show and Shine held at Highlands Ranch Kaiser Permanente. It was hit and miss for the Saturday Cruises weather wise sometimes we had lots of cars and other Saturdays the crowd was a little slim. Starting in June and ending in September we put the cruises on Rain or Shine. Its always fun to take your Hot Rod out for a cruise with other Hot Rods. To make it even more fun, if you attend a lot of our functions, you get to know the Hot Rod owners.
